A 46-year old Redlands resident has been identified as the motorcyclist killed in Beaumont on Interstate 10 recently. He was riding on his motorcycle when it collided with a pickup truck, ejecting him before being hit by the vehicle. California Highway Patrol has this tragic accident under investigation.
A pickup truck traveling east on Interstate 10 near Indian Avenue in Palm Springs crashed into the center divider the other morning. A 16-month old child was thrown out of the truck, according to California Highway Patrol and killed. Unfortunately, the safety seat that the child was riding in was not belted to the car seat. The freeway was backed up due to closed lanes for about an hour. This is so sad. The child was in a safety seat but the seat was not properly secured. My sincere sympathies go out to the parents on this young child.
The California Highway Patrol reported recently that a 28-year old Banning man died when he crashed into another car and then a tree early one morning. A man died at the scene. Police are investigating what happened to make the man to lose control of his vehicle. It is unclear if the other driver was injured. My condolences go out to the family of the man that died.
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.
A 30-year old man, lost control of his motorcycle in Riverside recently and crashed into a pole. The impact caused him to be thrown into a street light. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to a recent California Highway Patrol report, there were 32 fatalities and close to 600 injuries involving motorcycle accidents in Riverside County. The accident is under investigation to determine what caused the man to lose control of his motorcycle; investigators are checking to see if alcohol or drugs were involved or if there was a motorcycle product defect.
I hope that the man’s family consults with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney who will investigate the incident for them and make sure their rights are protected. If a defect were found to be at fault, preserving the motorcycle would be in their best interests. My sincere sympathies go out to the man’s family for their loss.
According to The Press-Enterprise, a 31-year old woman and a 43-year old man died after crashing head-on with each other on the Ramona Expressway in Riverside. The woman, driving a Chevy pickup truck, drifted over the centerline and crashed into an oncoming Toyota driven by the man. Both died almost immediately.
California Highway Patrol records indicate that Riverside County, in 2008, had over 200 fatalities and more than 8,500 injuries due to car accidents.
This accident is under investigation to determine what caused it – numerous questions arise. If the woman was at fault, the family of the man can file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for expenses and damages. If the vehicle manufacturer is found to be at fault, they could be responsible for all expenses and damages. I hope the man’s family contacts an experienced Riverside County Personal Injury attorney who will analyze all details of the accident. In the meantime, my deepest sympathies go out to the families of the woman and the man.
A 12-year old girl was killed recently because a 21-year old man, ran a red light. Not only was this young girl killed, but also her mother and 21-year old brother were badly injured, according to California Highway Patrol officers.
The man was arrested for the possibility of driving under the influence. He broadsided the vehicle that had the three individuals. The accident is under investigation. How very sad for this young girl and her family.
I would urge the man to contact an experienced Criminal Attorney as soon as possible for the help he will need. There is a chance he was driving under the influence, but more importantly, a child was killed because of his actions.
California Highway Patrol statistics indicate that statewide drunken driving arrests increased by 100 incidents since last year – 527 compared to 438 a year ago. The good news though is that vehicle deaths were down – six this year compared to eleven last year. Locally, on the freeways from the Mexican border to North Orange County, DUI arrests were up.
In parts of the state, effective July 1, convicted DUI offenders will be required to install ignition interlock devices on the vehicles they drive in order to keep their driver’s license. Depending on how many convictions you have determines the time the device remains on your vehicle. For those that do not know – an ignition interlock device requires you to blow into it before the vehicle will start. |
