[09-29-2020] Merced County, CA - Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash in Dos Palos Kills OneThe fatal crash happened around 9:00 p.m. on Carmellia Avenue near Palm Avenue. The woman was traveling on Carmellia Avenue, east of Palm Avenue when her vehicle crashed with a Jeep. She then struck a parked car, which caused it to veer into a parked trailer.

The woman’s vehicle then later crashed into a tree in the 6902 Carmella Avenue near Palm Avenue. Emergency personnel later arrived at the scene and confirmed that the woman was killed in the accident. It is unclear whether other people sustained injuries from the accident.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the cause of the collision. They will attempt to determine whether drugs or alcohol may have been involved in the case. 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 Merced County personal injury 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.
