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.
