California Highway Patrol officers investigating a fatal accident on Interstate 15 in Hesperia in the early morning hours almost got run over by a 23-year old suspected drunken driver.
The 23-year old man was arrested and booked for investigation of drunken driving after he drove through an accident scene that the officers had put cones and flares around; he was released after promising to appear at a court hearing later on.
The earlier accident involved a 35-year old man who was killed when he attempted to change lanes at a high speed and crashed into a big-rig; alcohol is believed to be a factor in his death.
The accident is under investigation to determine who was at fault. If you are injured in an accident involving another vehicle, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will fight to protect your rights because he or she has your best interests in mind.

A small plane attempting an emergency landing in the desert near Barstow over the weekend crashed and killed all three people aboard. It is unfortunate, but accidents of small planes happen more often than with commercial airlines.
According to Federal Aviation Administration officials and the California Highway Patrol, the plane originated in Las Vegas and was headed to Corona. The pilot declared an emergency; he was attempting to land in Barstow when he crashed.
Officials are investigating to determine what the emergency was and why the pilot crashed.
If you have a family member that was injured or killed in a small plane crash, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has experience with plane crash accident cases – who will investigate to determine if your family member’s untimely death was caused partially by a defect in the plane - and will take your case to a satisfactory resolution.

It is unknown why an SUV with two men traveling on the northbound side of Interstate 15 in San Bernardino crashed into the center divider the other morning.
After the vehicle came to a stop, another SUV crashed into the back end of the first SUV; the impact caused both vehicles to go over the side of the freeway and burst into flames. Firefighters found the dead bodies of both men in the first SUV.
California Highway Patrol officers are investigating to determine what caused this fatal accident to happen – why the first SUV crashed into the center divider and why the second SUV did not stop in time to avoid crashing. Without this information, they cannot determine who was at fault in the end.
If your loved one is killed in an accident, it would be wise for you to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who can determine if you should file a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party and receive compensation for your loss and expenses incurred.

A woman and her young daughter were in an SUV traveling on the southbound 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga when she lost control of the vehicle causing it to flip several times and roll down an embankment off the freeway.
California Highway Patrol, who responded to the accident, believe the incident was caused by a tire blow out. Officers gained access to the passengers trapped inside by using a cable.
The two suffered moderate injuries. They were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.
If the tire is determined to be faulty or have a defect, the owner of the vehicle may be able to file a lawsuit against the tire manufacturer. I hope the woman contacts an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to discuss options on how to proceed.

Lunchtime traffic on the westbound 210 freeway in Highland was worse than usual this week. A pickup truck pulling a trailer crashed and went off the right shoulder, landing on the embankment nearby.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the truck was carrying hydrofluoric acid; it spilled all over the freeway, causing it to be closed for several hours. Hazmat crews worked throughout the afternoon to clean up the spill and reopen the freeway. The Centers for Disease Control stated that hydrofluoric acid is highly toxic – even through inhalation exposure.
CHP officials are investigating to determine why the driver lost control and crashed his vehicle. He was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated.
The driver is lucky that no one else was injured. However, if you are injured because of another person’s actions, contact a skilled San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will seek compensation for your injuries and medical expenses.

One of the victims was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and the other was taken by air to a nearby trauma center according to San Bernardino Fire Department officials.
California Highway Patrol is investigating to determine what caused this to happen – Was the driver under the influence? Did another vehicle cause them to roll off the freeway? Was there something in the road? Did they have mechanical problems?
The conditions of the two victims are unknown at this time.
Depending on the cause of the accident, the victims and/or the families should contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.

With gas prices soaring these days, more and more motorists are taking to riding motorcycles to and from work, when possible.
Have you ever noticed that when traffic comes to a stop, motorcycles are zig-zagging back and forth between lanes? Many people think this is dangerous and illegal. However, sharing lanes is legal as long as the motorcyclist is not going faster than the flow of traffic.
Lane splitting is when a motorcycle rides on the line between two lanes, specifically during rush hour or traffic congestion. It is legal as long as it is done in a safe manner. The best place to ride is between the carpool and lane #1 because there is a little bit of extra room between the vehicles. When traffic is moving at the speed limit, lane splitting can be considered unsafe; the motorcyclist can be cited.
Excessive lane changes could be considered unsafe and if a police officer is close by, the motorcyclist can be cited. There is no specific rule as to how many times you can change lanes; a police officer will determine if it was an unsafe number.
Good news – the California Highway Patrol has developed a new public awareness campaign called “Common roads, Common Sense”. It was created to help alleviate the number of motorcycle-involved collisions.
If you were injured because a motorcyclist was weaving in and out of the lanes on the freeway, contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to determine if you can be compensated for your injuries and expenses.
