[08-12-2020] Santa Cruz, CA – People Hurt After a Multi-Vehicle Accident in Watsonville

Possible injuries were reported after a multi-vehicle traffic collision in Watsonville on Wednesday morning, August 12.

According to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol, the accident happened at around 5:50 a.m. Three vehicles collided head-on at Salina Road and Bay Farm Road.

How the collision occurred, and the reason why it happened is currently undetermined. One of the vehicles was found rolled over onto its roof after the crash. The people hurt from the accident were immediately treated by the paramedics.

The total number of people that were injured due to the crash was not specified. Additional information about the crash is limited at the moment.

Multi-Vehicle Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Police will attempt to determine the cause of the crash through the official investigation. When three or more cars collide on the roadway, it is considered a multi-vehicle collision. This type of car accident is commonly caused by a “chain reaction,” when one car bumps into another, which causes the other to hit the next vehicle.

Multi-vehicle collisions are commonly caused by drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving. It can be quite challenging to pinpoint liability during a multi-vehicle collision investigation, which is why it is essential to hire an experienced Santa Cruz County personal injury attorney to conduct an independent investigation. Attorneys can re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the responsible party’s phone and texting records.

Dealing with injuries caused by a multi-vehicle collision can be quite challenging for the victims. This is because it can potentially disrupt all aspects of life, such as family, work, and finances.

Pending the results of the official investigation, the victims are encouraged to pursue a personal injury claim with their attorney’s assistance. Through the personal injury claim, the victim’s family can seek financial compensation for the damages such as loss of income, pain, and suffering, and emotional trauma that the accident has caused them.
