[01-14-2022] Inyo County, CA – Two People Injured After a Multi-Vehicle Crash near Brockman Lane

Two people were hurt following a multi-vehicle traffic collision in Bishop on Friday morning, January 14, 2022.

The accident occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. on U.S. Highway 395, just north of Brockman Lane.

A 2015 Freightliner semi-truck was heading northbound on U.S. Highway 395 when it pulled into a center median as it attempted to turn right into a private residence.

Unfortunately, a speeding northbound 2010 Ford Explorer was unable to stop in time and crashed into the right front side of the 2015 Freightliner.

Due to the severity of the impact, the Ford Explorer lost control and overturned across the highway before stopping in the southbound lanes.

As the Ford overturned, it crashed into the left rear-side of a southbound Ford Ecoline.

Two people sustained minor injuries in the mishap. They were taken to Northern Inyo Hospital for treatment.

The California Highway Patrol is further investigating the cause of the accident.

Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Car accidents in the United States are more common than you might think. Every 60 seconds, a car accident occurs, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration. This means that approximately 5.25 million car accidents occur in the United States each year.

Every year, at least 6 million traffic accidents occur in the United States. In 2019, there were approximately 33,244 fatal motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 36,096 deaths.

A multi-vehicle collision occurred in this case. When three or more vehicles collide, the accident is referred to as a “multi-vehicle” collision.

These accidents are frequently caused by reckless drivers, speeding, intoxicated drivers, and distracted drivers.
