Two people were injured after a motorcycle vs. tractor-trailer collision in Oxnard on Sunday night, July 14, 2024.
According to the Oxnard Police Department, the crash happened around 7:11 p.m. at South Rose and Mountain View avenues.
Authorities stated that a tractor-trailer was heading eastbound on Mountain Avenue when it came to a stop at Rose Avenue and entered the intersection to make a left turn. Meanwhile, a Suzuki GSX motorcycle was traveling southbound on Rose Avenue and veered to avoid crashing into the tractor-trailer.
Despite the rider’s effort, the motorcycle still crashed into the front side of the tractor, ejecting its two occupants. Both of them suffered major injuries and were transported to the Ventura County Medical Center. None of them were identified yet.
The driver of the tractor remained at the scene. The officers believed that the motorcyclist was not impaired at the time of the crash, but speeding may have been a factor in the incident.

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.
