Fiery crash becomes a story of survival for six

Six people were lucky to be alive after a high-speed, fiery crash Monday on Interstate 8 in the East Country.

Around 10:15 a.m. on westbound Interstate 8 between Pine Valley and Descanso, a San Diego Man in a Ford Expedition made an unsafe lane change, clipping the front of a motorhome. The two vehicles veered off the road and over the side, hitting the bottom of a steep, rocky ravine and then bursting into flames.

The motorhome was carrying a Colorado Springs man, his wife, and their three children.

“Multiple situations could’ve happened,” said U.S. Forest Service Battalion Chief Jason Kraling, whose crews responded to the incident, in an interview with NBC San Diega. “We’re just thankful that it turned out the way that it did, that these folks were able to make their way up the hill.”

Everyone inside both vehicles managed to escape without being burned. They then scrambled up the hill as paramedics and firefighters arrived.

“Luckily, no one was seriously injured out of all of this,” said California Highway Patrol spokesman Kevin Pearlstein in an interview with NBC San Diego. “We’ve had several crashes where recreational vehicles just open up like a can, is basically what happens. You peel the can; whatever’s in there just goes wherever. So, very lucky.”

Injuries ranged from a gashed forehead suffered by the woman to mild and moderate bodily injuries for the rest. All were treated at Sharp Memorial Hospital.

The accident remains under investigation and no charges have been filed as of yet.

One person was killed Thursday morning in a car crash that and ended up at the bottom of the concrete-walled Tujunga Wash.

The vehicle, a 2008 black Cadillac, apparently went off the 101 Freeway, plowed through some trees and bushes before crashing through a chain-link fence and ending up on its side in the bottom of the wash.

The driver died at the scene. The victim has been identified as a 31-year-old male from Woodland Hills, says California Highway Patrol Officer Leland Tang.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash. It is not clear what caused the vehicle to veer off the 101 Freeway that sent it into the Wash. Another vehicle may have been involved in the accident.

Fire Station 86 discovered the vehicle around 7:15 a.m. By 7:30 a.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department tweeted that a fatal crash had occurred at the 4300 block of Vineland Ave.

The Tujunga Wash, where the car crashed, is considered a tributary of the Los Angeles River. It’s a 13-mile long stream and located just south of the crash site.

The police didn’t have any more information and have not released the name of the victim. The crash is still under investigation.

Pedestrian With A Walker Killed By Hit-and-Run Driver In Las Vegas

Last Thursday,  August 25, 2011, a hit-and-run driver killed a man who was using a walker to cross Boulder Highway. The Las Vegas website, 8newsnow.com, reported that the accident occurred around 8:30 p.m. A vehicle headed southbound on Boulder Highway hit a man with a walker who was crossing the highway a little south of Lamb Boulevard.

The news story also mentioned that the man was outside the crosswalk. No other details were available.

Remember, if you have information on a hit-and-run related accident, please share it with police. For a driver involved in an accident, even if the accident is not your fault, you must stop and call for help. Never leave the scene of an accident you are involved in, even if it’s not your fault. Call 9-1-1, and make sure help arrives. After you call 9-1-1, call your attorney to protect your rights.

Accidents are a tragic part of living, but they can be made worse by a lack of regard for human life. The collision may be an accident, but leaving the scene is no accident.

San Bernardino Among Cities Rated Most Dangerous for Driving

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , , ,

San Bernardino Among Cities Rated Most Dangerous for Driving

Rated as one of the most dangerous cities for driving is not good news for San Bernardino, or the people who live there. CNBC’s story this week gives San Bernardino the ranking of fifth most dangerous city for this issue.

The survey included cities that had the highest number of vehicular deaths as a measure of its danger level. Examining U.S. cities with a population of 150,000, and using the most recent crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System and General Estimates System, the authors found some statistics that should alarm the people in San Bernardino.

With a population of 198,580, San Bernardino, according to the news story, has a total fatality rate of 17.12 per 100,000 people. The most recent data puts the number at 38 for the total number of fatalities. Pedestrian fatalities accounted for 15.8 percent of that number.

We’re sure people want a better safety ranking for San Bernardino. Using caution, slowing down while driving, not driving while distracted, and better education and training can improve and reduce driving risks for everyone. While we can’t control everything in life, we can do what’s in our power to create a safer community, and greater safety on the road.
