Firebaugh, California (October 31, 2018) – One person was killed when two cotton modules crashed into one another on Wednesday morning on a highway in Firebaugh. The collision occurred at approximately 6:50 am on Highway 33, just west of Shaw Avenue, near Mendota. At this time, there are no details identifying the people involved in this collision.
