A devastating three-vehicle accident in Tulare County early Monday morning resulted in the deaths of two individuals. The crash occurred just after midnight on Highway 43, near Avenue 56, north of Allensworth, where a truck collided with two cars. Tragically, a passenger in one of the cars and the driver of the other were pronounced dead at the scene. A third individual was seriously injured and taken to the hospital for medical attention, while the driver of the truck emerged unscathed.
