Oroville Crash Seriously Injures Woman
I’m Ed Smith, an Oroville car accident lawyer. A woman reportedly suffered a bone fracture injury during a traffic collision she was involved in over the weekend. The injured woman is a resident of Oroville. She was an occupant inside of a vehicle that was struck by another motorist. She was transported by Enloe FlightCare helicopter after her legs were seriously injured during the motor vehicle accident on Friday, November 18, 2016. The accident took place along Lincoln Boulevard in the vicinity of Monte Vista Avenue in the city of Oroville.

She had been driving down Lincoln Boulevard when she turned right in front of a Ford Explorer that was driving along Monte Vista Avenue. The Ford Explorer collided with the Dodge Durango blocking the northbound lane of travel along Lincoln Boulevard. Three people had to be taken to local hospitals after suffering varying degrees of injury due to this unfortunate and tragic vehicular accident.

Have Any Arrests Been Made?
No. Authorities have made no arrests as of yet. A preliminary report indicated that neither drugs or alcohol contributed to this auto accident. Everyone involved in the traffic collision was wearing a seatbelt.
It typically takes a week or so for the CHP to prepare a traffic collision report. The report when released usually indentifies the party who caused the crash. However, sometimes the police report will be inconclusive as to fault or even be wrong in their findings of fault. It is crucial if you have been injured in a crash by another person’s negligence to have an experienced accident lawyer helping you with your personal injury claim. Good personal accident lawyers investigate the details of your crash and hold those responsible for your injuries accountable.
