TRUCK STRIKES SCHOOL BUS IN SONOMA- BAY AREA ACCIDENT ATTORNEY CAN HELP
Subprime road conditions are often made even worse by winter weather, such as fog, rain and ice. Accidents may occur because of weather, pavement conditions or driver negligence. Based on a memorandum provided by the California Highway Patrol, 106 people in California last year were killed in collisions that occurred in rainy, snowy or foggy weather. The CHP has recommended some of the following tips for safe driving in such weather: reduce your speed, and slow down significantly when you encounter fog; make sure that your windshield wipers are in good condition; make sure that your headlights are on when your windshield wipers are on; be sure that you have emergency supplies in your car at all times.
In Sonoma County on Thursday, January 15, 2009, a Toyota Tundra struck a school bus at the intersection of Llano Road and Highway 116. Fortunately, there were no students aboard the school bus at the time of the collision. The bus driver, Rian Studebaker, failed to stop at a stop sign and overturned when it was struck by the Tundra.
