Fiery Parking Lot Crash

I’m Ed Smith, a Natomas Car Accident Lawyer. A crash near Truxel Road in Natomas in the early hours of Monday morning sent two to the hospital.

What Happened?

According to a witness at the scene, a white Pride Industries Toyota sedan exited the shopping center parking lot and attempted a left turn at around 1:00 AM Monday morning. Another vehicle, a Black Mercedes-Benz coupe traveling in the opposite direction, then collided with the white Toyota’s passenger side. The crash damaged a nearby power line and left one vehicle on fire.

Injury Crash

Monday’s crash reportedly sent two people to the hospital with head trauma. Firefighters responded to the scene of the accident to administer first aid and combat the automobile fire. No burn injuries were reported to authorities.

Dangerous Parking Lots

Some of Sacramento’s riskiest parking lots have made headlines in recent weeks with reports of dangers ranging from narrow spots to unsafe access points. A few notably problematic lots in our area include:

  • Natomas Market Place on Truxel Road in Natomas
  • Trader Joe’s on Folsom Boulevard in East Sacramento
  • Starbucks at Freeport Boulevard and Sutterville Road in Land Park
  • Safeway at 19th and S Street in Midtown
  • F65 Commercial Center at 65th Street and Folsom in Elmhurst

What To Do if You Are Injured in an Accident

If you have been involved in an accident, be sure to visit your local emergency room to have your injuries evaluated. After you have been treated, you may need to take time off work to recover or to attend physical therapy or chiropractic care. In many instances, the costs of medical care after an accident can quickly become a burden while insurance companies deny or delay paying out claims. Between dealing with insurance adjusters, obtaining police reports, and filing disability or workers compensation claims, an injured person can easily become overwhelmed. Don’t let the insurance companies push you around; contact an experienced Natomas personal injury and car accident lawyer today.
