[07-14-2021] Glenn County, CA – One Person Hurt After a Two-Vehicle Crash in Willows

One person was injured after a two-vehicle traffic collision in Willows on Wednesday morning, July 14.

The major collision happened on Interstate 5, south of County Road 20 in Willows, at approximately 5:50 a.m. A southbound Chevrolet Camaro was traveling on Interstate 5 when the driver reportedly made an unsafe lane change into the second lane.

The Chevrolet Camero then struck the trailer of another vehicle in the second lane. Due to the severity of the impact, the Camaro then veered off the road and slammed into the center median before rolling over on its roof. The Camero driver was rushed to an area hospital with minor injuries. The occupants of the other vehicle were not injured in the collision.

Additional information about the accident is unavailable at the moment. It is unclear whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision. Local authorities are further investigating the case. They will determine the cause and the liability in the accident.

Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

With so many vehicles sharing the same roads, traffic congestion, gridlock, and (most seriously) car accidents – both deadly accidents and those resulting in severe injuries – will undoubtedly follow. Every year, at least four million people are injured throughout the country due to these traffic accidents. According to the United States Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 33,654 fatal vehicle crashes in 2018 caused 36,560 deaths.

These accidents are caused by various factors, including distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver fatigue. Most “accidents” are the result of carelessness, recklessness, or breaking the law. Accidents can be avoided by paying attention to the road, being competent behind the wheel, and maintaining your vehicle properly.

The emotional stress of an accident and the accompanying adrenaline rush make it far too easy to get caught up describing details of your accident to whoever is around and willing to listen. Anything you say could be misunderstood, twisted, or taken out of context to be used in a way that may make you more at fault than you were.

Establishing fault and liability is essential to any car accident. Don’t point fingers or accuse the other party of fault, even if you are confident that you aren’t the liable party. Leave that aspect of the case for your California motor vehicle accident lawyer and the authorities to take care of.

If you’ve suffered injuries in a car crash, you need legal advice from experienced California accident lawyers. The other driver’s insurance company is not on your side. Their job is to pay you as little as possible.
