[12-04-2021] Riverside County, CA – Multi-Vehicle Collision in Menifee Results in One Death

A 37-year-old woman identified as Guillerma Maria G. was killed after a deadly multi-vehicle collision in Menifee on Saturday evening, December 4, 2021.

The accident occurred in the 27000 block of Encanto Drive, just north of Rouse Road in Menifee, at approximately 6:12 p.m.

Sandra B., 57, traveled south on Encanto when she strayed into the northbound lanes and collided with another vehicle. This then triggered a multi-vehicle collision that involved a total of three cars.

One person was trapped in the wreckage and was extricated by firefighters. The extricated person was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other people were injured in the crash. One person was seriously injured while the other sustained minor injuries; they were taken to an area hospital.

Sandra was booked into the felony charges at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning. According to jail records, she was being held in lieu of a $75,000 bond.

The case is currently under further investigation.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Car accidents frequently have long-term and, in some circumstances, deadly consequences. To avoid this, all drivers should drive responsibly.

Car accidents are unfortunately not uncommon in the United States. In 2018, there were approximately 33,654 fatal motor vehicle accidents. Thirty-six thousand five hundred sixty people were killed in automobile accidents that year.

In this case, a multi-vehicle collision occurred. This type of accident happens when three or more vehicles collide. They are typically triggered by a “chain-reaction” crash, in which one car hits with another, potentially causing it to collide with other cars on the road.

Under California law, reckless driving is either a major traffic violation or an extreme driving offense. Reckless driving is often interchanged with driving without due care, careless driving, or improper driving. No matter what you call it, it significantly increases the risk of serious car accidents.

Riverside Accident Attorney for Victims of Multi-Vehicle Collisions

The death of a loved one in a fatal multi-vehicle accident can be stressful and sad for the victim’s family. Cases like these can be difficult, so hiring an experienced attorney is vital.

Your attorney will strive to establish who was responsible for the accident and what it will take to pay you fairly for your injuries and losses.

Your attorney can also defend your rights if there is insufficient insurance coverage to cover all damages. This is a common issue in a multiple-car collision, as several victims frequently attempt to access the same insurance policy.
