According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, a multi-vehicle collision injured several people on Highway 14 in Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon, October 12, 2022

According to Henry Narvaez, an L.A. County Fire Department spokesman, the crash occurred around 1:49 p.m. on the southbound side of Interstate 5 and Highway 14.

Officer Josh Greengard, the Newhall Office of the California Highway Patrol spokesman, stated that the collision was blocking the fast lane.

The investigators are still trying to determine what caused the crash.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

It’s possible that the state’s thriving economy is to blame for the recent uptick in car accidents. Over 3,004 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2010, per statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Driving in California is not without its dangers. These mishaps could have been prevented if only the drivers involved had been more cautious. Over ninety-four percent (94%) of all accidents can be traced back to human error.

Pain from car accident injuries can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. Traffic collisions are so common that drivers may stop being vigilant.

When three or more cars are involved in a collision, it is considered a multi-vehicle accident. After a head-on collision, up to six cars could be damaged or destroyed.

The most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that more than 13,000 people perished in multi-vehicle accidents in 2010.

With only two vehicles involved, it’s easy to press charges against both motorists. Finding a workable solution for everyone when multiple vehicles are involved is complex.

It gets harder to determine who did it. If two or more cars had collided, many people might have died.

In a multi-vehicle collision where the fault is unclear, you should not rely on an insurance company to help resolve the situation. When determining payouts, insurance companies put their interests before their policyholders.
