One unidentified person was injured following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 126 on Wednesday evening, February 3, 2022.

The accident transpired at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Highway 126, east of Piru, near Center Street.

A Toyota 4Runner was attempting to turn onto Highway 126 when it was caught in a T-bone collision with a Ford F-450 work truck.

Due to the severity of the impact, the Toyota 4Runner started to spin out of control and veered into westbound traffic, where it was rear-ended by a Ford F-250 pickup truck.

The Toyota 4Runner driver was trapped in the wreckage and was extricated by emergency personnel. He sustained major injuries and was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital for treatment.

Information about the crash is limited at the moment. The identities of the involved parties have not been disclosed.

It’s unclear whether intoxication was a factor in the crash. Local authorities are further investigating the case.

Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

In recent years, car accidents have become a major problem in the United States. Automobile accidents claim the lives of roughly 1.25 million people each year. This translates to 3,287 fatal crashes every day on average. Another 20-50 million people have been hurt or become incapacitated as a result of the disaster.

In the United States, California is responsible for 11% of all auto deaths. In California, there were 485,866 car accidents in 2017, with 3,898 persons killed and 276,823 injured. The number of people killed in car accidents has climbed by 23.5 percent since 2013.

T-bone collisions occur when a vehicle is struck on the side by the front or back of another vehicle. These collisions frequently result in serious injuries for all parties involved as a broadside collision.

According to the National Transportation Highway Safety Administration, T-bone collisions kill around 8,000 people in the United States each year.

A T-bone collision is involved in more than half of all fatal car accidents. A broadside blow is more deadly than a head-on collision or a rear-end collision.
