[09-05-2022] Los Angeles County, CA – Two People Injured in Single-Vehicle Crash in Lancaster

Local authorities found two injured victims who had been ejected from a single vehicle and were down an embankment in the city of Lancaster on Monday, September 5, 2022.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at about 12:13 a.m. on the northbound 14 Freeway just north of Avenue L.
When CHP officers arrived, they found an unoccupied dark-colored car down the freeway embankment.

Officers searched the nearby brush and discovered two people who had been thrown from the car, one of whom was a minor.

Firefighters and paramedics arrived at the scene from various stations, treated the two patients at the scene, and then flew the child to Children’s Hospital in unknown condition.

Speed may not have been a factor, and the accident’s exact cause is still being investigated.

Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Thousands of people are killed in single-vehicle accidents in California every year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that one-vehicle accidents account for roughly 62% of fatal collisions on California’s roadways. Driving in California requires constant vigilance due to the presence of numerous potential dangers.

There are many potential contributors to single-vehicle accidents. Reckless driving on a slippery road, such as increasing your speed or making a sharp turn, can lead to an off-road collision or a runaway car. A large branch or other pieces of truck-load debris could have washed up on the roadside. In addition, this could make driving conditions even worse.

Even if another driver’s negligence caused the single-vehicle accident, your ability to recover damages may be severely constrained by your insurance policy’s coverage plan.

Los Angeles County Car Accident Lawyers

Driving recklessly is illegal whether or not other people are hurt or killed. A claim against the negligent driver’s insurance company that caused your death is possible.

Rehashing past hurts and losses in front of a large audience as a witness in a deposition or trial can be emotionally draining. The mental health of individuals can be negatively impacted by pending legal matters.

After a car accident, you should seek legal recourse against the at-fault driver immediately. When multiple victims are killed due to someone else’s negligence, it is imperative that they be held accountable. It can be difficult to file a lawsuit over a loved one’s wrongful death, but doing so can bring some comfort to the family left behind. There will be far-reaching effects on the way people drive in California.
