Byron, CA—On the evening of Thursday, February 6, 2025, a head-on collision left one person dead, and three others injured, according to NBC Bay Area.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident took place around 6:11 p.m. on Vasco Road, south of Camino Diablo.
Authorities said a man driving a Honda CR-V northbound on Vasco Road crossed over the double-yellow divider lines and collided head-on with a Toyota Prius carrying three occupants.
A passenger in the Prius died at the scene. The driver of the Honda, along with the other two passengers in the Toyota, sustained severe injuries and were transported to the hospital.
Investigators ruled out impairment as a factor in the crash. The accident remains under investigation.
Wrongful Death Claims
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Liability rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. A personal injury attorney can play a crucial role in helping victims establish legal responsibility after a traffic accident.
Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
