Sacramento, CA – Deadly Two-Car Accident on Highway 99
Sacramento, CA (January 2, 2018) On the 30th of December, a deadly two-car accident happened at or near the crossing of southbound Highway 99 and 47th Avenue. According to the reports, two vehicles crashed into each other for unknown reasons at around 2:00 a.m. When the Sacramento Fire Department and paramedics arrived, they found that one person had already suffered fatal injuries. The deceased victim has been identified as 54-year-old Valerie Nesbit. Another victim had to be extricated from a vehicle and was badly hurt. Emergency crews transported the injured person to a nearby hospital for treatment. The accident is currently under investigation.
We send our condolences to Nesbit’s family as we know it’s never easy to lose a loved one in a vehicle accident. We also hope the injured victim is in stable condition and fully recovers.
Vehicle Accidents in California
The reason thousands of accidents occur every year in California is mainly due to negligent driving, which consists of driving under the influence, speeding, violating traffic laws, falling asleep at the wheel, and using a cell phone. Any of these factors could have been responsible for causing this deadly accident, but the police suspect alcohol or drugs might have played a role. Most DUI accidents occur in the middle of the night, and since this accident occurred round 2:00 a.m., it’s not unlikely that one of the drivers may have been impaired. Once the police finalize their reports, Nesbit’s family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit and the injured victim may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
