Rollover Accident Fatally Injures Stockton Man
I’m Ed Smith, a Stockton car accident lawyer. A resident of Stockton was driving his classic vehicle in San Joaquin County on the night of Tuesday, January 2, 2018. The man was involved in a serious auto accident which, unfortunately, caused him to succumb to his injuries at the scene.
Our heartfelt sympathies are with the friends and family of the man who passed away in this devastating accident.
Accident Details
A 28-year-old Stockton man was driving his classic 1965 Ford Mustang eastbound along Interstate 205 near Paradise Road at about 11:22 pm. For unknown reasons, the Ford veered to the left and left the roadway. The Ford crossed into the median and collided with a metal guardrail. The impact caused the vehicle to overturn several times before coming to a rest off the roadway.
Victim Suffers Fatal Injuries
Emergency crews were called to the scene of the auto accident to render aid to the injured man of the Ford Mustang. Upon arrival, medical personnel pronounced the man deceased due to the severity of his injuries.
Identity of Victim
The identity of the victim has not yet been released due to pending notification of family members. It generally takes the coroner’s office up to a week to release the victim’s identity.
Cause of Stockton Car Accident
A cause of the auto accident remains unknown due to pending investigation by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Authorities reported that the Ford Mustang did not come into contact with any other vehicle and speed is believed to be a factor in the collision. Sometimes, Traffic Collision Reports are inconclusive or inaccurate regarding fault. It is important to contact an experienced Stockton car accident lawyer when a person has lost their life in an auto accident. There may have been a phantom vehicle involved, a road or vehicle defect, a hit and run driver or other scenarios that could have contributed to this loss of life.
Recovering After a Loved One’s Passing
The recovery process following a loved one’s untimely death varies from person-to-person. Grief is unique in nature as no one experiences this traumatic period of loss in the same manner. Family and friends are encouraged to embrace and express their emotions. Keeping these bundled up inside may cause more harm than good in the long run. Creating a support group of helpful and understanding friends and family is essential in working one’s way through the grief process. Always keep your loved one close to your heart and remember how much they cared about you and could never bear to see you suffer.
