At least one person was killed in a multi-vehicle collision in Riverside County late Thursday night, September 12, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred around 11:50 p.m. at Pierce Street and the eastbound Riverside (91) Freeway.
The crash involved a Subaru, a white Toyota Corolla, and a tan Chevy Tahoe, which ended up blocking the middle lanes of the freeway. The collision caused significant debris to scatter across all lanes.
A family was reportedly trapped inside one of the vehicles. Emergency crews responded promptly, and the CHP issued a SigAlert for the freeway closure, which lasted several hours as they investigated the cause of the crash.
The Riverside County CHP continues to investigate the incident. Additional details will be provided as they become available.
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.
