[12-23-2020] Los Angeles, CA – Head-On Crash in Llano Injures One Person

One unidentified person was injured after a head-on collision in Llano on Monday afternoon, December 21.

The accident took place near East 170th Street and East Avenue S at approximately 3:30 p.m.

A 2010 Honda Civic was initially driving northbound on 170th Street East when the driver suddenly swerved into the opposing lanes. The Honda then collided head-on with a northbound Chevrolet Silverado.

The Honda Civic driver was killed in the crash. He was later identified as Adalberto Trujillo from Palmdale.

The Silverado driver sustained moderated injuries from the accident and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently further investigating the accident. They will attempt to determine the cause and the liability in the accident.

According to 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 accidents are caused by various reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced Los Angeles County personal injury attorney conduct an independent probe. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the guilty party. They will re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the liable party’s phone and texting records.
