[09-29-2020] Los Angeles, CA - One Woman Dead After a Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash in Newhall PassAccording to the California Highway Patrol’s initial reports, the crash occurred at approximately 8:00 a.m. on Interstate 5 Freeway near Roxford Street. A homeland security vehicle, a semi-truck, and a Subaru Crosstrek were involved in the collision.

How the collision occurred and how it happened is currently unclear. The victim was reportedly riding the SUV. She was later pronounced dead at the scene. A Homeland Security agent sustained moderate injuries from the accident. No other injuries were reported at the moment.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Accident Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating 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.
