The California Highway Patrol reports that the accident took place around 2:58 a.m. when the driver of the Honda Civic was traveling in the wrong direction. The impact of the crash caused the driver of the Honda to be ejected, as they were not wearing a seatbelt. The collision prompted the closure of both northbound and southbound lanes of Kirker Pass Road for several hours as investigators worked at the scene. The lanes were reopened at 7:53 a.m. While both drivers sustained serious injuries, their identities have not been released, and authorities continue to investigate the incident.
Personal Injury Claims
When the actions of reckless drivers cause others to be injured, the cost of recovery should not fall on their victims. Filing a Personal Injury Claim with the at-fault party’s insurance can provide compensation for medical bills and lost wages during recovery.
However, insurance companies often try to deny or minimize claims. That’s why having a knowledgeable personal injury attorney on your side is crucial to securing proper compensation for your injuries.
