The 14 Freeway’s center median was struck by a car that was reportedly a gray Toyota Yaris before it veered off to the right shoulder with significant front-end damage.

If you’re planning on driving in California, you should be aware of several things that could lead to an accident.

There are many factors that can contribute to single-vehicle accidents. The risk of a runaway vehicle increases if you drive too fast or make sharp turns on a slick road, also known as an off-the-road accident. It is possible to find debris on the road, like a large branch or an object that fell from the back of a truck.

The comprehensive coverage plan of your insurance policy will likely limit your recovery in case of a single-car accident, even if it is caused by something other than your or another driver’s negligence.
