According to officials, a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, a Chevrolet Suburban, and a third vehicle collided at approximately 5:32 a.m. for reasons unknown. When emergency crews arrived at the scene to help, they found that one person sustained fatal injuries. It’s unclear if any other drivers or passengers obtained injuries.

Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies show that out of the millions of vehicle accidents that occur in the United States every year, over thirty thousand of them are fatal. Studies also show that the leading cause of most vehicle accidents is some form of negligent driving, which includes speeding, driving under the influence, falling asleep at the wheel, and using a cell phone. Some of these actions seem minute, but even a few seconds of being distracted can cause serious damage.

The police are currently investigating the accident to determine who will be held liable. Because more than three vehicles were involved in this collision, determining causation and liability might be complex as there are many factors to consider. Once they’ve finished conducting their research, the deceased person’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
