[10-27-2024] Pedestrian Killed, Child Injured After Two-Vehicle DUI Crash in RialtoA pedestrian was killed, and three others were injured after a two-vehicle DUI crash in Rialto on Sunday evening, October 27, 2024.

Authorities responded to reports of the crash at 6:26 p.m. at the intersection of Etiwanda and Riverside Avenues. 

Upon arrival, officers discovered that a green Dodge Caravan had jumped the corner and struck a 50-year-old man who was walking his bike.

According to Rialto Police Department Sgt.

The pedestrian was transported to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. Inside the Audi were a 19-year-old driver and his 2-year-old son, who was taken to the hospital with minor injuries; the father was unharmed. 

The 32-year-old female driver of the Caravan was also transported to a hospital. After she is discharged from the hospital, the police intend to arrest her for driving under the influence.

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.
