[01-12-2023] Los Angeles County, CA – At Least One Person Hospitalized After Two-Car Crash in Santa Clarita

At least one person was injured following a two-vehicle collision in Santa Clarita on Thursday evening, January 12, 2023.

According to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Newhall Station, the crash occurred shortly before 9:10 p.m. on Railroad Avenue and Newhall Avenue.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department and medical responders arrived at the scene to find two vehicles with significant damage on their front ends and one person trapped in one of the cars involved.

The injured passenger was reportedly found sitting in the rear seat on the driver’s side. After being medically attended to and extricated, they were taken to Henry Mayo in unknown condition.

It remains unclear how many people have been involved and the extent of their injuries.

Initial investigation by the deputies revealed both drivers blew the red light.

Two-Vehicle Accident Statistics

Every minute in the United States, one person is killed and ten are injured as a result of a traffic collision. Each year, these avoidable causes of a mortality claim the lives of about two million children and young adults under the age of 24, and they cause injury to at least ten million more.

There is a prediction that by the year 2050, around 10,000 California residents will lose their lives as a result of car accidents. It is unfortunate that projections suggest that these numbers will continue to rise in the future.

Deaths due to automobile accidents have increased by 23.5 percent since 2012. There were 3,898 fatalities and 279,223 injuries related to automobile accidents in 2017. Nine persons per one hundred thousand took the bus or subway that year and perished.

Almost every motorist in the Golden State has experienced a terribly close call on one of California’s numerous dangerous freeways. By being a defensive driver and keeping one’s car in good working order, one can reduce the likelihood of an accident.
