Fiery Multi-Vehicle Crash Causes Fatality
Sherman Oaks, CA (December 4, 2018) On the morning of December 4th, a fiery multi-vehicle crash occurred on the US 101 Freeway. According to the reports, three vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction crash at around 10:43 a.m. The impact of the collision caused one of the vehicles to set on fire. When emergency responders arrived at the scene, they found that the driver inside of the fiery vehicle died as they were unable to get out in time. They transported two other injured victims to nearby hospitals for treatment. The accident is currently under investigation.
We hope the other two injured victims in this accident are able to make a full recovery from the injuries sustained as a result of this crash.
Vehicle Accidents in California
Every year in California thousands of people lose their lives in vehicle accidents. The leading cause of most vehicle accidents always falls under some form of negligent behavior. When injured victims choose to file personal injury lawsuits, they must prove causation, which means they must prove that the other party partook in a negligent act that caused them harm. Determining what caused a vehicle accident can be complicated as multiple parties may be considered liable.
In this case, because multiple vehicles were involved in this accident, it’s possible that more than one person could be held liable. Fortunately, a woman named Ashley called 911 and stated to have recorded the accident on her dash camera. If she was able to record the entire accident, then it might help police officers figure out what caused the crash and who should be held responsible.
Because this accident resulted in multiple injuries as well as one fatality, it’s likely that personal injury lawsuits and a wrongful death lawsuit will get filed.
