Big Rig Collision in Redding

At approximately 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, January 22, 2017, a two-vehicle accident occurred in Redding on Interstate 5 northbound near the Delta Road off-ramp. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) received a call on Sunday afternoon about a big rig and a white sedan involved in a traffic collision. When first responders arrived on the scene, they discovered that the force of the initial impact sent a white sedan into the center divide, and the big rig was located on the right-hand side of the highway. It is unknown how this automobile and the big-rig accident occurred at this time. The CHP is conducting an investigation to see if distracted driving or driving under the influence is a factor in the collision.

Were There Injuries?

CHP reports indicated that an involved party at the scene requested medical assistance. Shascom arrived on the scene and transported an injured party to a local hospital. At this time, the extent of the injuries the involved party sustained in this big-rig collision is unknown.

Trucking Collisions

Because large commercial trucks can weigh over 80,000 pounds or more, so accidents involving big rigs can have fatal consequences. There are regulations and laws to protect motorists from the negligent actions of truck drivers and the companies that hire them. If you have been involved in a significant commercial truck accident and think the trucker was at fault, contact an experienced accident lawyer.
