[09-29-2020] Placer County, CA – One Person Injured After a Head-On Crash in Colfax

One unidentified person was injured after a head-on crash at an intersection in Colfax on Tuesday, September 29.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, the collision took place around 11:53 a.m. at the intersection of Ponderosa Way and Paoli Lane, near the Weimar Institute. A blue Mercedes and a brown pickup truck were involved in the crash.

The two vehicles collided head-on at the Colfax intersection for unclear reasons. The Mercedes acquired front-end damage as a result of the accident. At least one person was reportedly injured from the mishap.

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the accident. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways. Head-on collisions mainly occur when drivers are distracted or are experiencing over-fatigue.

Attorneys have the resources to help the victim’s family to receive the justice that they deserve.
