[10-14-2024] Contra Costa County, CA – 14-Year-Old Girl Killed, Sister Critically Injured After Hit-And-Run Crash in Richmond

[10-14-2024] 14-Year-Old Girl Killed, Sister Critically Injured After Hit-And-Run Crash in RichmondA 14-year-old girl was killed, and her 11-year-old sister was critically injured after a two-vehicle hit-and-run crash in Richmond on early Monday morning, October 14, 2024.

Richmond Police responded to the scene at approximately 5:15 a.m. after receiving automatic iPhone collision alerts. 

An investigation revealed that an Infiniti G35 had been speeding northbound on Canal Boulevard when it left the roadway and struck two trees and a power pole before coming to rest in the roadway.

The 14-year-old was found dead at the scene after being ejected from the vehicle. Her 11-year-old sister was critically injured. Authorities reported that two 15-year-old boys allegedly fled the scene, with one later found at a hospital seeking treatment and the other located at a residence in Richmond.

The Infiniti had been reported stolen from San Pablo on Saturday and was reportedly involved in sideshow activities before the collision. Lt. Donald Patchin of Richmond Police stated, “Initial reports indicate the vehicle was probably participating in a sideshow just prior to this, showing how quickly such activities can turn deadly.”

Richmond police continue their investigation, with potential manslaughter and stolen vehicle charges under consideration once the driver is identified.

The investigation is ongoing.

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.
