Marina, CA — KSBW reports that 20-year-old Alexis Sierra Samaniego of Salinas lost his life in a high-speed collision with a utility truck that also injured the worker inside on Friday, November 8, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Samaniego was driving an INFINITI Jeep 35 westbound on Blanco Road at an extremely high speed when, for reasons still under investigation, he veered off the road and collided with a parked utility truck on Research Drive.
The utility truck was occupied by a worker who was elevated in a cherry picker performing maintenance on a nearby pole at the time of the crash. The impact left Samaniego with fatal injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The utility worker was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.
CHP continues to investigate the circumstances that led to the accident.
Personal Injury Claims
When the actions of reckless drivers cause others to be injured, the cost of recovery should not fall on their victims. Filing a Personal Injury claim with the at-fault party’s insurance can provide compensation for medical bills and lost wages during recovery.
However, insurance companies often try to deny or minimize claims. That’s why having a knowledgeable personal injury attorney on your side is crucial to securing proper compensation for your injuries.
