[06-17-2024] Placer County, CA – 23-Year-Old Man Killed After Two-Vehicle Rollover Crash Along Baseline Road

[06-17-2024] 23-Year-Old Man Killed After Two-Vehicle Rollover Crash Along Baseline RoadA 23-year-old man was killed after a two-vehicle rollover crash in Placer County on Monday afternoon, June 17, 2024.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal accident happened just before 1:00 p.m. around the 8800 block of Baseline Road near South Brewer Road, west of Roseville.

CHP said the collision involved a Volvo XC90 driven by a 57-year-old man from Plumas Lake and a Nissan Rogue driven by a 23-year-old man from Rocklin. 

Initial reports suggested that the Volvo slowed down and stopped to turn into a driveway around the crash site, with the other cars behind it also stopping to give the driver time to turn safely. 

At the same time, CHP stated that the Nissan’s driver, traveling eastbound on Baseline Road at a high speed, suddenly crossed over the solid double yellow line into the opposite lane to pass the stopped vehicles.

As the Volvo started turning left, the Nissan collided with the left front of the Volvo. Due to the impact of the crash and the speed at which the Nissan was moving, the Nissan was thrown off the roadway and rolled over multiple times before coming to a complete stop.

It is said that the 23-year-old was ejected from his car while it was overturning, fatally injuring him. CHP confirmed that he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. The Volvo driver, meanwhile, appeared to be uninjured immediately following the collision.

CHP is still gathering all the necessary information to determine the factors that may have contributed to the deadly accident. As of now, alcohol and drugs are being ruled out.

Further details will be provided as soon as they become available. The investigation is ongoing.

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.
