Solo Vehicle Collision Fatally Injures Ceres Teen Near Tracy

I’m Ed Smith, a Tracy car accident lawyer. A Ceres teen was involved in a single vehicle collision near Tracy on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 29, 2017. The crash, unfortunately, caused the teen to suffer fatal injuries.

Accident Details

A 17-year-old Ceres girl was driving her 2011 Ford Fusion eastbound on Interstate 580 near the Highway 132 overcrossing at approximately 4:10 pm. Witnesses in the area informed the California Highway Patrol (CHP) that the girl was allegedly speeding at approximately 85 miles per hour moments before her vehicle left the roadway. For unknown reasons, the Ford veered to the right and drove up the overpass embankment. The vehicle became airborne for approximately 127 feet, struck a bridge pillar and came to a stop shortly after the collision.

Fatal Natal of Injuries

Emergency personnel immediately responded to assist the injured victim. Upon arrival, they located the victim and the Ford Fusion. Sadly, the young girl passed away as a result of her injuries.

We extend our condolences to the family members of the young victim that passed away in this tragic accident.

It is still too soon to determine how the crash was caused. The processing of a Traffic Collision Report generally takes seven to ten days. However, authorities believe the crash was caused by an unsafe turn to the right.

It is best to consult with a Tracy car accident lawyer for more information, especially if you suspect the accident was caused by a phantom vehicle, a hit and run driver or a road or vehicle defect.
