A 28-year-old woman identified as Caroline Guerrero was killed while four others were injured after a major multi-vehicle crash in Whittier on early Friday morning, December 25.

[12-25-2020] Los Angeles, CA - One Person Killed, Four Others Injured After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in WhittierThe crash took place on the northbound lanes of the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway in Whittier at approximately 2:35 a.m. Multiple unspecified vehicles collided on the roadway for unclear reasons.

How the crash occurred and the number of vehicles involved in the collision has not been established. At least four people sustained severe injuries due to the crash. They were all taken to a nearby trauma center for treatment.

Unfortunately, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. Additional information about the accident is unavailable at the moment.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the case. They will attempt to determine the cause of the accident.

When three or more cars collide on the roadway, it is considered a multi-vehicle collision. This type of car accident is commonly caused by a “chain reaction,” when one car bumps into another, which causes the other to hit the next vehicle.

Multi-vehicle collisions are commonly caused by drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving. It can be quite challenging to pinpoint liability during a multi-vehicle collision investigation, which is why it is essential to hire an experienced Los Angeles wrongful death attorney to conduct an independent investigation. Attorneys can re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the responsible party’s phone and texting records.
