Fresno County, CA – KSEE reports that, on Friday, February 16, 2024, a Dodge 2500 pick-up truck caused a multi-vehicle collision, overturning in the process.
Officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to reports of the accident at 4 PM and arrived at the crash site in the vicinity of Shaw and Academy Avenues.
Investigations indicate that the Dodge 2500 had missed the curve of the road while traveling eastbound on Shaw. It struck a fence, an agricultural well, and two parked vehicles before rolling over. Minor injuries resulted.
Excessive speed appears to have been a factor in the crash. Authorities do not yet know if driver impairment played a part.
Personal Injury Claims
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a collision might fall upon other drivers in the vicinity of the accident or even unsafe roadway structures. Working through the particulars of liability to help those who have lost a loved one find proper compensation for their loss is one of the many services a personal injury attorney can provide.
Once liability has been established, a personal injury attorney can also negotiate on behalf of the victim with insurance companies, who will always seek to minimize the payout for any claim they cannot deny.
