The truck struck a guardrail and the victim was found lying on the highway's shoulder. It's unknown whether he was ejected from the truck, Lara said. A witness at the scene, 26-year-old Jason Ward of Fresno, said his flatbed truck nearly slipped on the spill and clipped the side of the victim's truck. Fortunately, Ward wasn't hurt.
