[09-11-2022] Los Angeles County, CA – One Person Transferred to Hospital after a Single-Vehicle Rollover Crash in Santa Clarita

Local authorities took one person to a nearby hospital after a single-vehicle rollover collision in Santa Clarita on Sunday afternoon, September 11, 2022.

The accident happened at around 1:33 p.m. in the Newhall neighborhood of Santa Clarita.

At the Newhall Avenue off-ramp, a northbound Toyota Corolla sedan was traveling on the 14 Freeway when it was involved in an accident. The car had reportedly landed on its roof onto an embankment with one person trapped inside.

At the time of the collision, three occupants were in the vehicle.
One received treatment from the on-site paramedics for about 25 minutes before being taken in an ambulance to a nearby hospital in an undetermined condition.

The crash victims’ families arrived at the scene.

The collision may have been caused by speed.

Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

A single-vehicle crash accident is a crash in which a person is injured, and the only vehicle involved in the collision is the one occupied by the driver. These accidents account for about 8% of all traffic accidents and are responsible for over 1,100 fatalities yearly.

More than 30,000 people are killed in the United States, and more than 2.1 million are injured in motor vehicle crashes yearly. 95% of people, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, do not buckle their seatbelts.

The most common cause of single-vehicle crashes is driver error—typically, these accidents occur when a driver makes a mistake and has a collision while driving. Other causes include tire blowouts, vehicle malfunctions, or other mechanical issues with vehicles.

Prevention is key to reducing single-vehicle crashes: drivers should be aware of their surroundings and avoid distractions like texting or talking on their phones while driving. They should also maintain their vehicles to prevent mechanical issues that can lead to crashes.
