One person sustained serious injuries while three others were hurt after a two-vehicle traffic collision in Half Moon Bay on Friday, June 19th.

According to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol, the accident happened around noon in the northbound lanes of Highway 1, also commonly referred to as Cabrillo Highway, just north of Tunitas Creek Road.

Head-on Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fatal multi-vehicle collision.

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, the victims and the families of the victims must be appropriately represented. Hiring an experienced San Mateo car accident attorney specializing in fatal multi-vehicle accidents is vital. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the liable party. They can re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the responsible party’s phone and texting records.
