[10-07-2022] Lassen County, CA – Three People Injured in Multi-Vehicle Collision in Susanville

According to the California Highway Patrol, a multi-vehicle collision resulted in three people receiving significant injuries on Susanville Road Friday, October 7, 2022

According to CHP, the collision transpired at around 8:13 a.m. on State Route 139, five miles south of Termo Grasshopper in Susanville.

Brian M., 59 years old and lives in Portland, Oregon, was driving south on State Route 139 when he let his car cross into the northbound lane.

He crossed in front of 68-year-old David E. of Loleta, which caused them to crash head-on. Linda H., 73, of Reno, Nevada, was driving behind East and was unable to stop, so she crashed into the back of his car.

CHP says that Madison had chest pain and multiple cuts when she was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Reno. East was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding with various cuts and possibly broken bones. Hancock was taken to Banner Lassen Medical Center in Susanville, California, because his arm or wrist may have been broken.

At the moment, there is still an investigation taking place to determine what caused the collision to take place.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The state’s growing economy is a direct cause of the rising number of car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says more than 3,304 people died in car accidents in 2010.

Driving in California is always a risky thing to do. If the drivers involved had been more careful, these wrecks could have been avoided. Over 94% of all accidents are caused by human actions that could have been avoided.

Depending on how bad the damage is, injuries from a car accident can be excruciating. Because accidents happen so often, it’s easy for drivers to get used to the daily risks on the road.

An accident with three or more cars is called a “multi-vehicle accident.” After a head-on collision, up to six vehicles may be stuck together.

A new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that more than 13,000 people died in accidents involving more than one car in 2010.

In a case with only two cars, it’s easy to file charges against both drivers when more than one vehicle is involved, finding a solution that works can be challenging.

It gets harder to find the guilty person. If two or more cars had crashed, it could have hurt many people.

You shouldn’t trust an insurance company if you get into an accident with more than one car, and it’s unclear who was at fault. When giving out payouts, insurance companies put their own needs ahead of their policyholders.
