Around 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 26, 2018, a driver slammed into another car causing a serious Los Angeles rollover car accident. According to news reports, the driver that caused the rollover crash was speeding in the Northridge area in an attempt to flee a previous crash that he caused just up the road on the same street. In his attempt to flee the first crash, he ran a red light and crashed into another car, causing the car to roll.

The car involved in the rollover contained six passengers. All of those in the vehicle were hurt, including a 7-year-old child, and were rushed to the hospital. The condition of these Los Angeles car accident victims was not immediately known.  Continue Reading

A Tesla sedan collided with a Laguna Beach police car parked on Laguna Canyon road. Luckily, no one was injured in the accident. The Laguna Beach Patch reported that the car accident occurred when the Tesla on autopilot suddenly veered out of its lane and into the police car.

According to The Patch, this is not the first Tesla accident in that area. Last year, at the same location, anther autopilot Tesla crashed, “with almost identical circumstances…the difference was that the male driver ran into a semi-truck.” It is still not clear what caused the car to swerve in the present case, but certainly interesting that it occurred in the same spot as a previous crash.  Continue Reading

According to ABC 7 News, locals have come to dub Inland Empire’s Ramona Expressway, “Blood Alley.” Driving along the expressway over 40 roadside memorials can be seen, tributes to those killed in car accidents along the corridor. Last week alone, there were three deadly head-on collisions. The Ramona Expressway is a central thoroughfare for people commuting back and forth to work, causing heavy traffic.

The expressway is dangerous because of heavy traffic, especially where the roadway narrows to just two lanes, one in each direction. Residents state that “You’ve got people passing you on the shoulder, people passing head-on on the one-lane bridge,” adding to the danger in this area. Continue Reading

ABC 7 News reports that Christopher Morales and Desmond Franklin were killed when the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee ran a red light and slammed into their car. The two friends were out for an early birthday celebration for Morales who would have turned 26 a few days later.

Morales and Franklin were both passengers in a car driven by Morales’ girlfriend, who was injured in the Riverside car accident. The friends were driving in Riverside near the 60 Freeway, when the Jeep driver ran the red light causing the fatal accident. The Jeep driver got out of his car and fled the scene.

However, a few hours later police arrested Eric Figueroa-Reyes while he was at the hospital seeking medical attention for a broken knee-cap he sustained in the crash. While Riverside police are still investigating what exactly caused Reyes to run the red light, he will likely face criminal charges for hit and run.   Continue Reading

A massive car accident in Cajon Pass, involving 20 to 30 cars, left at least 17 people injured and closed the freeway. The crash occurred just after 11 a.m. on the southbound 15 freeway. Officials believe dense fog contributed to the severity of the accident.

According to ABC 7 News, it appears that two vehicles initially collided, but because of the heavy fog and reduced visibility, the crash started a chain reaction. More that 20 cars were part of the pile up. Officers and paramedics responded immediately and treated 17 people for injuries. Two were transported to the hospital for life-threatening injuries.

Drivers said they tried to avoid the crash, but poor visibility lead to other accidents. As a result, all southbound lanes were closed for over two hours.
