Tracy, CA – According to CBS13, 24-year-old Iman Gullatt was arrested on suspicion of DUI after a fatal crash near the intersection of Laguna Drive and Holly Drive on Sunday, April 21, 2024, resulted in the tragic loss of two lives and serious injuries to another.
Authorities shared that, around 5:20 AM, a gray Dodge Charger driven by Gullat collided with a parked Chevy pickup truck, leading to devastating consequences. The victims of this heart-wrenching incident have been identified as Reva Moses, 24, from Vallejo, and Torrance Randle Jr., 18, from Tracy, as confirmed by the San Joaquin Office of the Medical Examiner.
In addition to the fatalities, a 15-year-old male passenger sustained “serious injuries” and is currently undergoing treatment at an area hospital, according to police reports.
Following a thorough investigation, authorities determined that Gullatt was “under the influence of alcohol” at the time of the crash. Consequently, Gullatt was arrested.
Wrongful Death Claims
While no amount of money can bring back those who lose their lives in a vehicular fatality, the emotional burden of their loss is often accompanied by a financial burden that falls on their surviving family members.
A wrongful death claim filed with the insurance provider of an at-fault driver can provide compensation to help cover medical expenses, burial costs, and even the loss of support for dependents of the deceased.
However, because insurance companies carry the incentive to reduce the payout for any claim they cannot deny, the services of a skilled personal injury attorney can prove crucial in securing justice for the deceased.
Readers should also bear in mind that a wrongful death claim does not require that the at-fault driver receive criminal charges. Also, all parties should be considered innocent pending conviction by a court of law.
