Imperial, CA. Injuries Reported in Collision Between a Car and a Tractor-Trailer

Imperial, CA. (June 28, 2018) – The California Highway Patrol reported a crash Thursday morning between a tractor-trailer and another vehicle. The accident reportedly occurred at approximately 9:55 a.m. Thursday morning in the westbound lanes of East Aten Road in Imperial, west of Highway 111.

According to the report, a black Nissan Altima apparently crashed into the rear-end of a tractor-trailer at the intersection for reasons that are currently unknown. Paramedics were called to the scene and responded immediately. The responders arrived on the scene to assist anyone who was hurt in the crash, although it is still unclear how serious the injuries were, or if anyone was taken to the hospital.

The Nissan Altima apparently suffered some very serious front-end damage during the collision, and both vehicles had to be towed away from the scene. It is currently unknown why the motorists crashed, and the accident is under investigation in order to determine who was at fault. As of right now, we wish any victims of this accident a full recovery from their injuries.

Trucking Accident Injury Attorney

Accidents that involve a large commercial truck are generally handled quite differently than other motor vehicle accidents. Typically, the trucking company will be held liable just so long as the driver is determined to have acted negligently while working. Investigators will be looking to see if excessive speed, intoxication, distracted driving, or anything else that may be considered negligent behavior was involved.

Depending on the outcome of the investigation, there may be grounds for a personal injury claim to follow. Many victims who experience large hospital bills, future medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage as the result of an accident will attempt to seek compensation. Of course, this is a personal decision that can only be made by the victim.
