Madera Police Officers were dispatched to south Madera Avenue, just north of Pecan to investigate a single vehicle traffic accident. 

Upon arrival, officers saw a red and black Honda sedan that collided with a tree on the west side of Madera Avenue. The car was on fire, and the officers were able to extinguish the flames before they spread to the entire vehicle. 

Officers found an adult male in his early 30s deceased from the collision. He was the only occupant of the vehicle.
