Fresno, CA – Fatal Vehicle Accident on Chestnut Avenue

Fresno, CA (January 8, 2019) On the evening of January 7^th, a fatal vehicle accident happened on Chestnut Avenue at around 5:00 p.m. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 72-year-old woman was driving a 2013 Chevy Equinox when she failed to stop at a stop sign and crashed into a 2005 Toyota driven by 58-year-old Cheryl Suydam-Taylor. The impact of the accident caused both vehicles to collide with a parked and unoccupied 2006 Mercury. When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they found the 72-year-old woman dead in her vehicle. They also found Suydam-Taylor suffering from a possibly broken leg and transported her to Community Regional Medical Center for treatment. This accident is currently under investigation.

Recent studies show that about 700,00 accidents result from drivers failing to stop at signs every year in the Untied States. The police are currently investigating to figure out why the elderly woman failed to stop her vehicle when it was her turn to stop at a stop sign. They’re inspecting for any malfunctioning auto parts and they’re also checking for any hazardous road conditions. Once they conclude their findings, it’s possible that the deceased woman’s family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit and the injured woman could also file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California attorney.
