LARGE VEHICLES CAUSE DAMAGE ON ROADWAYS IN SACRAMENTO AND LIVERMORE
Large vehicles like big rigs and trucks are ever present on our roadways, and even though the drivers are specially trained, there are still accidents that can cause a lot of damage. These large trucks and vans may be harder to control in bad weather, and may not be susceptible to a quick change of course in case of an emergency. These vehicles may also hold dangerous cargo, like gasoline or toxic materials that can be extremely dangerous if involved in a crash. Have you or a loved one been injured by a truck or a bus, and want to obtain compensation for your injuries? Then you should contact the lawyers of Greenberg & Rudman LLP for a free consultation of your case at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
On February 4, 2010, a garbage truck and van were involved in an accident in Sacramento. The collision caused the truck to crash into a child day care center. Both drivers had to be extricated from the vehicles, and the driver of the van died, but no children were harmed. In another unrelated accident on the same day, a driver of a BMW, Beiru Chen, was driving the wrong way on Highway 580 and caused a major collision. Chen was driving the wrong way in the left lane, and lost control of her car. The car crashed into two big rigs, one carrying contaminated soil, and the other diesel fuel. Chen was injured and airlifted to a hospital, but the drivers of the big rigs were not injured.
Investigators have indicated that alcohol does not seem to be a factor in the second accident, and are still investigating why Chen was driving the wrong way on the freeway. The highway was blocked for several hours while crews cleaned up the scene.
