Head-on Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the accident.

According to the statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways. These types of accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced Alameda car accident attorney to conduct an independent probe.

They will re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the liable party’s phone and texting records.
