Sacramento, CA — On Saturday night, July 6, 2024, a single-vehicle collision on Business 80 in Sacramento resulted in multiple injuries to its passengers including four minors, according to KCRA.
The accident occurred around 7:30 PM near Marconi Avenue.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that a man in his 30s was driving westbound on Business 80 when he collided with the water-filled plastic barriers standing between the freeway and the Marconi off-ramp, which caused his vehicle to overturn.
All of the vehicle’s occupants were transported to a local hospital with varying degrees of injury. Detailed conditions of the injured individuals were not immediately available, but authorities reported that four minors were among them.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
CHP continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. They urge anyone with information about the incident to come forward to aid in their investigation.
Passenger Liability
The liability insurance that drivers carry is designed to cover accidental harm caused not only to those outside the vehicle but also to passengers within it. A driver is responsible for the safety of everyone in their vehicle.
While making a Wrongful Death or personal injury claim against someone who knew the victim personally can be emotionally challenging, the financial burdens following a vehicular accident can be substantial.
A skilled personal injury attorney can help victims and their families seek proper compensation for their loss by navigating these complex issues and negotiating on the victim’s behalf with insurance companies, who routinely work to minimize the payout of any claim they cannot deny.
