A car crash on Third Street and Palm Avenue in the early morning hours over the weekend left three men severely injured, one in critical condition, and hospitalized. A 19-year old man, was speeding on Third Street when he lost control, hit the curb and flipped over – landing on the roof.
Two men were able to climb out of the car, but the third one was trapped inside. The two men called for help; fire department personnel, after removing a door, were able to get the third man out.
The accident is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Major Accident Investigation Team. They believe alcohol is a factor in the accident.

Motor Vehicle Code 21228 states, “Bicyclists and scooter enthusiasts are legally required to ride inside bike lanes when lanes are available.” This law refers to scooters that travel less than 30 mph.
Always proceed with caution when riding in a bike lane; watch for slower moving individuals. Unfortunately, some car owners park in a bike lane. If you are riding a bike or scooter in a bike lane and a parked car is blocking your way, be careful when you ride around it – watch for oncoming cars. Make sure you are traveling in the same direction as other vehicles. Be familiar with the “Rules of the Road”.
If you are traveling in a bike lane and involved in an accident, contact an experienced Personal Injury Attorney who will investigate the accident for you.

For those of you who were stuck in traffic several months ago on the 10 Freeway in Loma Linda when a Redlands man crashed into a Toyota stopped on the shoulder, killing a woman and wounding another woman while they were changing a tire, here is an update. The wounded woman suffered a compound fracture to her right leg.
San Bernardino Superior Court sentenced the 24-year old man, to nine months in the county jail. The sentence is in accordance to a plea bargain where he agreed to plead guilty to one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and one count of driving while under the influence of alcohol causing great bodily injury.

There is nothing worse than being involved in an accident, even a fender bender can ruin your day. However, when you are involved in a motorcycle accident, serious bodily injuries can occur or it could be deadly. Motorcyclists have no protective barrier between themselves and the concrete road.
Motorcycles are fast and go in and out of traffic quickly – speeding can cause severe consequences. Statistics show that about two-thirds of motorcycle accidents are a result of a motorist turning into the motorcyclist’s lane, violating his or her right of way. In addition, motorcyclists have a much higher rate of death than a passenger does in an automobile.
More than three thousand people died in the United States last year because of motorcycle accidents – many due to negligence of the driver. If you are a victim of a motorcycle accident, I suggest you contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney who can investigate the accident for you and make sure you are compensated for your expenses.

A 32-year old woman, was on the north side of Highway 18 in Crestline a few months ago when an car accident took her life. She was driving behind a truck. A truck on the south side, sideswiped the truck on the north side causing his cargo, wooden roof trusses, to fly off the truck and crash through the windshield of the woman’s car. The woman lost control of the car, hit a stone pillar and ended up in an embankment. She died at the scene.
After an investigation, it was determined that the truck on the south side crossed the double yellow line when he waved to a friend on the side of the road. He may have been driving without a wide-load permit. The driver of the truck was charged with vehicular manslaughter and is awaiting a November hearing.
My condolences go out to the family of the woman.

A 22 years old woman, died when her Jeep tumbled down a Lake Arrowhead mountain road and burst into flames after ejecting her from the vehicle early the other morning. It was 2:00 a.m. she had just had a fight with her boyfriend and was driving home to her family from Moreno Valley.
The woman’s father, thinks his daughter who was driving on a suspended license because of medical reasons, may have suffered a seizure, causing her to crash her vehicle. Firefighters from the Crest Forest Fire Protection District found her body about 100 feet uphill from the vehicle.
CHP officers are investigating the accident. The father believes that Caltrans is partially responsible for his daughter’s death because there are no guardrails along the road because of budget cuts – only rock pillars and a chain. A Caltrans spokesperson said their “current configuration meets our standards.”

Summer is here and more people are out walking. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when taking a walk. Always walk on a sidewalk. When one is not available, walk on the left-hand side of the road – facing traffic. Another thing to remember is obey traffic signals. Cross when the signal light is red and get to the other side of the street before the light changes to green. Make sure oncoming traffic can stop safely before you step into the street. Just because pedestrians have the right-of-way, does not mean you can cross the street whenever or wherever you want. If you are walking at night, wear light-colored clothing so you can be seen – such as reflective patches or carry a flashlight.
By following these simple rules, you are bound to have a safe and enjoyable walk – whether it is for exercise or pleasure.
