[05-22-2024] Sacramento County, CA – Three People Hospitalized Following Single-Vehicle Collision Near Rancho Murieta

[05-22-2024] Three People Hospitalized Following Single-Vehicle Collision Near Rancho MurietaThree people were hospitalized following a single-vehicle collision near Rancho Murieta, Sacramento County, on Wednesday night, May 22, 2024.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash happened at about 8:30 p.m. along Scott Road, north of Latrobe Road.

CHP said that a Toyota Camry, occupied by a male driver and two female passengers, was going north on Scott Road at an unsafe speed before it ultimately veered off the roadway and crashed into a nearby tree.

One of the female passengers reportedly suffered major injuries as a result of the incident and was airlifted to a hospital for further medical care. She was sitting in the backseat of the car and was apparently not wearing her seatbelt.

Meanwhile, the other female passenger and the male driver both sustained moderate injuries. The two were also taken to a local hospital to recover. The names of the people involved were not available at this time.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. It is unclear if driver impairment was a factor. 

Police work is underway.

Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?

Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:

  • Check yourself for any injuries.
  • Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
  • Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
  • Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
  • Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You

Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
