[07-27-2021] San Diego County, CA – Two-Vehicle Collision in Barrio Logan Injures Two Police Officers

Two San Deigo Police Department (SDPD) officers were hurt after a traffic collision in Barrio Logan on Tuesday night, July 27.

The collision transpired at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Logan Avenue near Interstate 5 in Barrio Logan. The officer’s patrol vehicle reportedly collided with an SUV for unclear reasons. The circumstances leading up to the accident have not been established.

Two officers inside the patrol vehicle sustained minor injuries. It’s unclear whether they were taken to a hospital for treatment. Authorities found that the SUV driver was driving without a license at the time of the accident.

Information about the accident is currently limited. No arrests have been made at the moment. Local authorities are further investigating the possible causes of the collision.

Two-Vehicle Collision Statistics

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of personal injuries in the United States. Each year, nearly 2 million people are injured in car accidents. While approximately 36,000-40,000 people die each year due to injuries sustained in a car accident.

A car crash can happen in the blink of an eye. Driving anywhere in California is dangerous. The vast majority of collisions, however, are avoidable. Human error is responsible for 94 percent of all accidents.

The driver who caused the accident is liable to the other involved parties for paying their damages, such as those just listed. In California, the fault for a collision depends on which driver negligently caused the accident. Sometimes both drivers can be at fault. Even if this happens, one driver might be able to recover damages from the other driver.

Of course, not every motor vehicle crash in California is caused by the negligence of another driver. Sometimes they can be caused by hazardous road conditions, defective vehicle parts, or even driverless vehicle malfunctions. When accidents like these occur, the vehicle manufacturer or its parts or a government agency could be held liable for the victim’s damages.

Getting involved in a major car accident can be overwhelming and stressful. It can be more frustrating when you’re healing from major injuries as well. A permanent injury can quickly result in financial losses amounting to millions of dollars.  Permanent injuries necessitate ongoing medical attention. Victims frequently spend years seeing specialists, seeking second opinions and consultations and following up with their primary care provider.

They will almost certainly require medications and assistive devices (such as a wheelchair or walker). If you cannot return to work, for example, you are entitled to compensation for all wages earned between the time of the accident and your expected retirement.
