At least one person was killed following a vehicle vs. semi-truck collision in Riverside early Tuesday morning, July 16, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the fatal freeway crash happened at about 2:08 a.m. at the junction of the eastbound Riverside (91) Freeway and the westbound Pomona (60) Freeway.
Reports indicate that the crash involved a gray SUV and a semi-trailer truck. It is said that the SUV, for some reason, struck the back of the semi, causing heavy damage to both vehicles and severe injuries to at least one person.
When responding CHP officers arrived, they found a body slumped in the middle lanes of the 91 Freeway along with the damaged vehicles involved. The victim, whose name, age, and gender were not disclosed yet, was declared dead at the scene by the responders.
It is still unclear if the deceased was the driver of the SUV or the semi-truck. No other injuries were reported at this time.
As a precaution, CHP blocked off certain parts of both freeways for several hours while they investigated and cleared the scene.
No further information was immediately available, and the authorities are still gathering all the necessary details to determine the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
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.
