A Shasta County Sheriff’s police officer was injured after a multi-vehicle collision in Redding on Thursday morning, December 2, 2021.

The accident transpired at approximately 6:56 a.m. on Lake Boulevard near Hilltop Drive in Redding.

A westbound 2018 Ford F150 was traveling on Lake Boulevard made a sudden left turn and crossing a raised concrete center divider, and entered a parking lot.

Meanwhile, an eastbound 2003 Ford F150 driving on Lake Boulevard tried to avoid colliding with the oncoming F150, but it veered towards the left side of the highway and collided with the 2018 F150.

Due to the severity of the impact, one of the vehicles started to spin out of control and crashed into a patrol vehicle.

The deputy inside the patrol vehicle sustained unspecified injuries and was rushed to an area hospital to receive treatment.

Local authorities are further investigating the cause of the accident.

Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Car accidents in the United States are more common than you might expect. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, every 60 seconds, a car accident happens. This means that around 5.25 million car accidents occur in the United States each year.

Every year, at least 6 million traffic accidents occur in the United States. In 2019, there were approximately 33,244 fatal motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 36,096 deaths.

A multi-vehicle collision occurred in this case. Car accidents can happen in a variety of ways. One of them is multi-vehicle accidents. Typically, three or more vehicles are involved. A “chain reaction” occurs when one car collides with another, possibly prompting the second vehicle to collide with another.

These crashes are frequently caused by careless driving, speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving.

Collision Accident Lawyers for Victims in Shasta County

Multi-vehicle collisions are frequently more difficult to handle than two-vehicle incidents. Victims may find it difficult to deal with a multi-vehicle incident case because they are dealing with the stress and agony created by the accident.

It is strongly suggested that you seek the counsel of an experienced personal injury attorney. The responsible party will be legally obligated to pay for the victim’s medical bills, lost earnings, emotional distress, and pain and suffering resulting from the personal injury suit.

Victims without legal counsel are easy targets. They usually don’t know what their claim is worth and are willing to settle for almost anything. However, when they hire a car crash lawyer, insurance companies know that they are serious about receiving the compensation they are entitled to receive.
