A man was found injured along a roadside in Reedley on Tuesday evening, prompting authorities to shut down a stretch of J Street for hours while they investigated. Officials said he was located around 6 p.m. on J Street between Ninth and 10th streets before being taken to a hospital.
According to ABC30, authorities are still investigating what led to the man being found hurt in that area. The outlet reported that officials located him around 6 p.m. on J Street between Ninth and 10th streets, and that he was taken to a hospital afterward.
Road Closed for Hours as Investigation Unfolds
The station's report notes that his condition has not been released. The area remained closed for several hours while authorities worked the scene, according to the same account.
Video from the scene was provided by an ABC30 Insider, giving viewers a glimpse of the roadway while it was shut down. No further details about what preceded the man's injuries have been made public.
How the man was injured remains unclear.
Police Seek Tips From Public
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Reedley Police Department, per the outlet's reporting. No additional updates on the man's condition or the circumstances surrounding the case have been released as the investigation continues.
A separate Reedley case illustrates why an injured person found in a roadway does not, by itself, establish what happened. In June 2022, police investigated after a man was found injured near Huntsman and Reed; authorities later said a driver had intentionally hit him, and a man was arrested on an attempted-homicide charge. That case involved a different location and date, and no connection to the current investigation has been announced. The earlier case was reported in 2022.
