According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 4:47 p.m. A red sedan waiting to make a left turn was rear-ended by a gray GMC SUV, which pushed the sedan into the path of an oncoming northbound semi-truck. The semi-truck then collided with the sedan.
The two passengers inside the red sedan were pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities identified them as 31-year-old Aristeo J. of Port Hueneme and 35-year-old Marcos A. of Salinas. The 20-year-old driver of the sedan was transported to a hospital with major injuries.
CHP reported that the GMC SUV driver, a 19-year-old woman from Salinas, initially fled the scene but was later located. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors in the crash. Authorities continue to investigate the collision, including whether any charges will be filed.
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.
