[04-14-2020] San Diego, California – Two People Injured After a Car Collision in Fallbrook

Two people sustained varying degrees of injuries after a two-vehicle collision in Fallbrook last Tuesday afternoon, April 14th. 

According to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at around 2:20 p.m. on East Mission and Pamela Lane.

A Kia sedan and a Ford F350 pickup towing a trailer were traveling in opposite directions on East Mission Road, but for unknown reasons, the two vehicles crashed into each other. 

Two people riding the Kia were injured. They were both immediately brought to the Palomar Medical Center in Escondido to receive treatment for their non-life threatening injuries. 

The East Mission lanes were temporarily closed to give way for the investigation. 

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently attempting to determine the cause of the accident through the official investigation. 

According to the statistics from 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 types of 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 collisions to conduct an independent investigation. 

Attorneys can help the victims receive the justice that they deserve as they have the resources to help prove the negligence of the guilty driver. They can re-interview important witnesses, review any related surveillance footage from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party.

Sustaining injuries after a head-on collision can be stressful and overwhelming as it has the potential to affect all aspects of life, such as family, work, and finances. 

While waiting for the results of the official investigation, the victims are encouraged to pursue a wrongful death claim with the help of their attorney. The liable party will be required by law to compensate for the medical expenses, lost earnings, and future loss of profits or medical care of the victims. The responsible driver will be held accountable for the non-economic damages as well, such as emotional trauma, pain, and suffering.
