Wheatland Car Accident Causes Fatal Trauma
Yuba-Sutter California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported that a Wheatland car accident left at least one individual with deadly injuries on Sunday, June 21, 2020. According to police reports, the crash happened in the late morning on Highway 65. County officials are still withholding the decedent’s identity and the cause of this accident remains under investigation.
Crash Details
CHP reports state that this accident happened at around 11:00 a.m. on SR 65 just outside of the Oakley Lane intersection in central Wheatland. Details about the number of vehicles involved in the accident and events leading up to the crash have not yet been released by officials.
Agencies responding to the accident included CHP and the Wheatland Fire Authority assisted with responding to the accident. Medical responders at the crash scene reported that at least one individual suffered fatal injuries. CHP also indicated that at least one injured during the accident was transported to a nearby hospital to be given emergency medical treatment.
Investigation
The highway was shut down while officials conducted emergency response and preliminary crash site investigations. Reportedly, the highway stayed fully closed until 1:30 p.m. and did not fully reopen until 2:45 p.m., leading to major traffic delays. CHP has not indicated what factors, if any, are suspected in this accident.
In many cases, fatal car crashes happen because of more than one factor and many common collision causes are non-driver factors like faulty car parts or defective roads. Furthermore, finding out all the factors involved in a crash can be hard, especially if one or more involved drivers can’t give investigators testimony. In many cases, officers trying to figure out what caused an accident, are missing a piece of the story and fail to uncover critical evidence.
Calling an experienced Wheatland car accident lawyer who knows how to conduct their own investigation of a fatal accident is very important. By having a skilled attorney on your side, you ensure that somebody is investigating the incident with the rights of your family as a priority.
The Impact of Fatal Accidents
A fatal accident can be very difficult for families to deal with. Grieving families can feel overwhelmed and often experience intense emotions that are difficult to cope with. Furthermore, fatal crashes also often cause serious financial problems for those that are already in a difficult situation. A sudden death in your family can leave you without an income source that you rely on. In other cases, families no longer have access to important services like home repair, cooking, or childcare.
To make sure that your family can recover financially and personally following a deadly car crash, it is vital to reach out to a Wheatland wrongful death lawyer for help. By having a lawyer help you file a wrongful death claim, it’s often possible to obtain the financial security your family needs in a traumatic time.
