One person was killed, while seven others were injured, including a child, after a suspected DUI crash in Yuba City on Sunday night, June 2, 2024.
According to the Yuba City Police Department, the fatal incident happened just before 8:42 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 20 and El Margarita Road.
YCPD said that 39-year-old Chloe F. was traveling northbound along El Margarita Road with a 4-year-old girl on an SUV when she drove through a stop sign and turned into the wrong lane on Highway 20. Her vehicle then collided head-on with a pickup truck with six people inside.
All six occupants of the pickup truck were transported to a local hospital after sustaining varying degrees of injuries. One of them, later identified as Bryan D., was pronounced dead at the facility shortly after. It is currently unknown if the deceased was the driver of the pickup truck or one of its many passengers.
Meanwhile, both Chloe F. and her child passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries. They were also taken to the hospital to recover.
YCPD believes that Chloe F. was driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident occurred. No charges have been filed against her yet, but that could change as soon as the authorities conclude their investigation.
There was no further information available at this time. Police work is underway.
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.
