[08-09-2022] Riverside County, CA – One Car Severely Damaged in a Multi-Vehicle Collision in Murrieta

One car was severely damaged in a multi-car accident in Murrieta on Tuesday, August 09, 2022.

The California Highway Patrol reported that the collision happened at 10:20 a.m. on the northbound I-215 between Clinton Keith and Scott roads.

According to CHP officials, a brick-hauling tractor-trailer sideswiped a pickup truck, causing a Toyota Yaris and another pickup to crash.

According to the CHP, all involved drivers moved onto the right shoulder or into the center divider, leaving the lanes clear. However, the area’s flow of traffic was slow.

Crews from Murrieta Fire & Rescue and Riverside County Fire Department were dispatched to the scene and evaluated every person involved. No one needed to be taken to the hospital.

Initial reports suggested that the semi dumped some of its cargo, but the CHP claimed no bricks were thrown into lanes.

The sedan had to be towed from the scene due to the severity of the damage.

The investigation was being conducted.

Multi-Car Accident Statistics

A multiple-car crash occurs when two or more vehicles collide. Passengers may be jerked forward and backward, thrown around, or smashed into objects. Broken bones, whiplash, deep lacerations, internal harm, and organ trauma are all common injuries resulting from such disasters. Many of these problems can become difficult to treat if the source of the damage is not initially or completely identified.

More than 10,000 people have been killed in multi-vehicle accidents since 2014. More than 7,000 of the total fatalities annually can be attributed to the drivers involved in these collisions. It is clear from the numbers how dangerous it is for drivers when an accident involving multiple cars takes place on the roads and highways.

According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, multiple-vehicle crashes account for nearly two million per year. Injuries and fatalities are more likely to occur as collisions involving cars, trucks, and other vehicles increase.

These accidents are caused by various factors, including low visibility during specific driving conditions affecting vehicle operators. Roadways have become congested due to high traffic volumes, poor road conditions, and similar factors.

Multiple-car collisions frequently occur when high-speed areas are available on highways and roads. With congested traffic, it is difficult for many people to recognize when to avoid a potential collision or objects on the road. These collisions may become more common if the weather becomes a factor. The larger the city in which a person drives, the more likely the driver will encounter or witness one of these serious concerns.

When determining who is at fault in multi-car accident cases, an in-depth investigation is usually the way to go.
