On the night of July 11, 49-year old man was riding his motorcycle on Interstate 10 near Highland Springs Avenue when traffic came to an abrupt stop. The man’s motorcycle skidded and swerved as he tried to stop, but he lost control and crashed – throwing him onto the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet that covered his face.
Banning police are investigating this accident to determine what caused the man to lose control of his motorcycle. A number of factors are being investigated, which include a mechanical malfunction, something in the road and drugs or alcohol.
Statistics from 2008 indicate that 32 people died and about 600 people were injured from motorcycle accidents in Riverside County. My condolences go out to the family of the man for their tragic loss. I would advise them to contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney so he or she can investigate the accident and advise them of their legal rights and how to proceed.

The Press Enterprise recently reported that a Hemet police officer, age 30, was involved in a hit-and-run accident where he suffered severe injuries. Officers believe the accident was caused by a female drunk driver in a Honda Accord. Witnesses said that the other driver ran a red light, causing the police officer and himself to crash into a third vehicle already at the light.
After the collision, the female fled on foot, leaving the officer trapped inside the police car. He was later taken to a nearby hospital where he was in serious condition. The 32-year old woman, was later arrested on suspicion of felony DUI causing injuries. She violated several California laws by driving under the influence, driving through a red light and then leaving the scene of an accident.
I hope the officer recovers soon. I urge him to consult with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to make sure his rights are protected.

According to The Press Enterprise, a 29-year old woman, was killed in Hemet when a minivan, driven by 43-year old man, crashed into her head-on. Internal injuries caused her to die at the scene. The driver of the minivan had three small children, ages, 4, 3 and 1 in his vehicle– they were not injured.
California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident to see what caused the man to crash into the woman. They are checking to see if he was distracted by his children or if alcohol or drugs played a part in the accident. If the man is found to be at fault, he could face criminal charges for the woman’s wrongful death.
My sympathies go out to the family of the woman on their tragic loss. I would suggest the woman’s family contact an experienced Criminal Law Attorney who will investigate the accident for them and make sure the negligent party is held responsible for their loss.
