Moss Landing, CA — According to KSBW, on the afternoon of Friday, August 2, 2024, a multi-vehicle collision near Moss Landing left three hospitalized.
Around 3:25 PM, a white Chevy and white sedan traveling in opposite directions along Highway 1 collided with each other at Potrero Road for reasons yet to be determined. A third vehicle then became involved in the crash as well.
One of those involved suffered major injuries, and at least two others received moderate injuries. All were promptly attended to by paramedics and transported to nearby medical facilities for further treatment.
Preliminary investigations by CHP suggest that one of the drivers involved in the crash may have been driving under the influence. Authorities are conducting thorough assessments to determine the exact circumstances and contributing factors leading to the collision.
California DUI Law
Section 23153(a) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) states that it is illegal for any driver to “Operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and, as a result, cause bodily injury to someone else.”
Personal Injury Claims
When the actions of reckless drivers cause injuries to others, the cost of caring for those injuries should not fall on the victims. Filing a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance provider can offer compensation to help cover medical bills and the time taken off work to recover.
However, insurance companies have a vested interest in denying or minimizing claims. This is why the assistance of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney can make all the difference.
