A 22-year-old man was killed, and two others were injured in a wrong-way head-on collision on the Foothill (210) Freeway near Allen Avenue in Pasadena early Sunday morning, December 29, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 3:10 a.m. when the man, identified as Jeffrey R., drove a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro eastbound in the westbound HOV lane. The Camaro collided head-on with a 2021 Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Jeffrey R., a Los Angeles resident, succumbed to blunt force trauma injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 44-year-old Burbank man driving the pickup truck sustained a possible left wrist fracture and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. A 50-year-old Burbank woman in the passenger seat complained of neck and back pain, the CHP reported.
The incident remains under investigation, and no further details are available at this time.
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.
