Los Angeles, CA – Traffic Crash on the Interstate 10 Freeway
Los Angeles, CA (December 27, 2018) On the morning of December 26th, a traffic crash happened on the Interstate 10 Freeway. According to the reports, a minivan rear-ended a semi-truck for unknown reasons near the eastbound 105 Freeway at approximately 10:25 a.m. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found the driver of the minivan pinned inside of the vehicle. Once they extricated him, they noticed he was in critical condition. Three other occupants of the minivan were injured, but the extent of their injuries is unknown. The only person who didn’t get hurt was the truck driver. The police are currently investigating this accident.
We hope all four injured victims receive proper treatment and fully recover from their injuries.
Vehicle Accidents in California
Whenever semi-trucks and passenger vehicles collide, the occupants of the smaller vehicle are usually more liable to get hurt, as was the case for this accident. The vast difference in the size and weight of both vehicles is a major reason why most truck drivers walk away from accidents unharmed. The leading cause of such accidents is usually negligence, which includes talking on a cell phone, speeding, driving under the influence, and more.
The police are working to discover what caused the minivan to rear-end the semi-truck. There’s a possibility that the truck driver slammed on the brakes too quickly and didn’t leave the driver enough room to follow suit. There’s also the possibility of the minivan having mechanical errors that prevented them from braking. Once the police finish their investigation, the two injured victims may be able to file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
