A 47-year-old man from Tipton died and two others were injured after a crash near Corcoran Thursday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP says a driver was driving a 2007 Nissan Sentra southbound on Highway 43 approaching Avenue 120 at approximately 50 mph.

At the same time, investigators say a driver of an International Transtar was traveling northbound on Highway 43 Northbound approaching Avenue 120 at approximately 55 mph.

Intending to turn eastbound onto Avenue 120 from Highway 43, CHP says the driver reduced the speed of his Nissan Sentra and proceeded to turn left.

Investigators say as this occurred, the driver of the International Transtar applied the brakes and steered it to the left in an attempt to avoid a crash.
