VISALIA, CA – On Sunday evening, November 2, 2025, at approximately 9:30 p.m., emergency responders from the Visalia Police Department, fire crews, and American Ambulance arrived at a two-vehicle collision at the busy intersection of Mooney Boulevard and West Whitendale Avenue. According to local eyewitnesses and community post updates, the crash involved a white Toyota Corolla hatchback and a red Dodge pickup truck.
Witnesses say the red Dodge truck ran a red light, striking the Toyota as it entered the intersection, causing moderate damage. Fire and ambulance personnel treated one occupant on-scene; fortunately that person did not require transport to the hospital, according to early reports. The Visalia Police Department remained on site for investigation into causes, possible violations and traffic signal evidence.
Why This Intersection Matters
The Mooney & Whitendale intersection is a high-traffic zone in the central Visalia area, accommodating residential, retail and commuter flow through the city’s East-West corridor. Injuries can happen when vehicles fail to stop at clearly-marked signal lights, especially at peak evening times when visibility may begin to drop and traffic volume remains elevated. Previous incidents at or near Mooney Boulevard have underscored the importance of defensive driving and full attention at signalized intersections.
What To Do If You Were Involved
If you or someone you know was involved in this crash (or a similar one) at the Mooney/Whitendale intersection or elsewhere in Tulare County:
- Request a copy of the official police collision report from the Visalia Police Department.
- Preserve any photos or video from the moment of crash or access to traffic surveillance (if applicable).
- Keep all medical records, even if you initially felt “OK,” since symptoms can surface later.
- Document lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and any follow-up work needed to recover.
- If you were injured through no fault of your own, consider consulting an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your rights before time-sensitive deadlines expire.
