[04-28-2020] Yolo County, CA – One Person Hurt After a Two-Vehicle Collision in Woodland

An unidentified person was severely injured after a two-vehicle collision at an intersection in Woodland on Tuesday afternoon, April 28th.

According to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the accident occurred at around 12:05 p.m. at County Road 24 and County Road 94B.

The cause of the crash and the circumstances that led to it are currently unknown. Yolo County firefighters responded to the scene and found two vehicles with significant front-end damage. A pole was also sheared at the base and was dangerously hanging by the lines. One person sustained significant injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital via ambulance.

Head-on Collision Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the cause of the accident. 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 vital to have an experienced Yolo County car accident attorney to conduct an independent probe. Attorneys have the resources to interview essential witnesses, review related surveillance footage from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party. All possible contributing factors, such as road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting, must be considered and thoroughly examined during the independent investigation.
