Tracy, CA – According to CBS13, on the evening of Wednesday, April 4, 2024, a woman lost her life in an unfortunate solo-vehicle accident on Interstate 5 in Tracy.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the crash occurred at approximately 7:11 PM on the I-5 northbound to SR-132 westbound transition ramp.
The CHP has not yet determined why the victim’s vehicle veered off the roadway, subsequently overturning multiple times down an embankment. She was rushed to San Joaquin County Hospital, where she tragically succumbed to her injuries.
The identity of the deceased woman has not been publicly released pending notification of her next of kin. CHP continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash to determine the factors that contributed to this devastating outcome.
Liability in Solo-Vehicle Collisions
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a solo-vehicle 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 victims and their families find proper compensation 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.
