Murrieta, CA (December 20, 2018) On the 19th of December, fatal collision happened near the intersection of Interstate 15 and Interstate 215. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 2003 Dodge RAM 1500 van and a 1999 Lincoln Towncar collided for unknown reasons. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found an 80-year-old-man named Ernest Hardaway dead at the scene. The other driver and his passenger were transported to Inland Valley Hospital to be treated for their injuries. The police are currently investigating the accident.

Vehicle Accidents in California

The reason thousands of vehicle accidents occur in California every year is because most drivers are partaking in various activities while they drive. Most drivers are using their cell phones, conversing with passengers, eating, applying makeup, programming a GPS, driving under the influence, or even falling asleep at the wheel. Some of these examples are more crucial than others but they all cause the same amount of damage. It only takes a few moments of distracted driving for someone to lose their life.

The police are investigating this accident to determine what led up to the crash and who will be held liable. Once they finalize their reports, a wrongful death lawsuit could be filed by Hardaway’s family with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
