Local Photojournalist Taken to Hospital

Around 7:15 p.m., a KSEE24 photojournalist was struck by a vehicle in downtown Fresno. Cameraman Jesus Garcia was hit by a white Chevrolet near the intersection of Tulare Street and Van Ness Avenue.

Motorcycle police officers who were already on the scene directed protesters and pedestrians out of the street and onto the sidewalk to create space following the incident. Organizers of the march told protesters who wished to continue marching to proceed, while several people remained at the scene to wait for an ambulance.

Garcia was taken away by ambulance. The outlet reported that Garcia sustained minor injuries and that the incident was not connected to the protest.

Hope they are ok!
