[07-02-2020] San Diego, CA – 6 People Injured After a Head-On Collision in Dulzura

Six people sustained varying degrees of injuries after a head-on traffic collision in Dulzura on Thursday morning, July 2nd.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, two vehicles collided head-on on Highway 94 near Otay Truck Trail. How the accident occurred, and the reason why the collision happened is currently unclear.

A total of six people were injured in the accident. One person sustained significant injuries, while five people sustained minor to moderate injuries. All of them were taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment. Additional details about the accident are limited at the moment.

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently attempting to determine the cause and the circumstances that led to the accident through the official investigation.

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 a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced San Diego personal injury attorney specializing in head-on collision cases. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the liable party. They can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the responsible party.

It’s also important to avoid admitting fault if approached by the other driver’s insurance company. Being careful is crucial as the other party may try to prove otherwise.
