[07-26-2024] El Dorado County, CA – At Least Four People Injured Following Two-Vehicle Head-On Collision Near South Lake Tahoe

At least four people were injured following a two-vehicle head-on collision in El Dorado County on Friday afternoon, July 26, 2024. 

According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 1:00 p.m. along Pioneer Trail near South Lake Tahoe and Tionontati Street. 

Authorities stated that a 2022 Prius was traveling at an unknown rate of speed when, for some reason, it crossed into the southbound lane, colliding head-on with a 2022 GMC Sierra moving at around 40 mph. 

Four people suffered minor to major injuries; two for each vehicle involved. This includes the driver of the Prius, identified as a 35-year-old San Francisco resident, who suffered a broken femur following the crash. Additionally, others complained of pain and sustained lacerations.

All four were transported to Barton Hospital. None of the victims were named by the responding officers. 

No additional details were available. The crash is under investigation. 

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.
