The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The California Highway Patrol is investigating to determine what caused this fatal accident.

According to The Victorville Daily Press, a 59-year old motorcyclist lost control of his bike and crashed, causing him to be tossed onto the road. He was taken to a local hospital where he died the following morning from the injuries he suffered.
Officers are investigating to determine what caused him to crash. Friends believe there was a hit-and-run driver involved; however, police cannot find any evidence of another driver.
If there was another driver involved, leaving the scene is against the law. California Vehicle Code Section 20001(a) states, “The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.”
If it is determined that another driver was not involved, it is important to check into other factors such as a mechanical malfunction or vehicle defect.
If you lose control of your vehicle and sustain injuries, contact a San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product defect cases and will investigate to make sure you are compensated for your injuries, expenses and pain and suffering – and, will protect your legal rights.

A 20-year old pickup truck driver died the other morning in Fontana when a rear-end collision caused him to slam into a big-rig truck.

Police are investigating to determine what caused this fatal accident. It would be wise for the family of the victim to contact an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney to determine if they can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In most cases, the driver who does the rear-ending is to blame.

Another pedestrian has been killed while on a roadway. This time it was a 31-year old woman who was hit by a sheriff’s patrol car in the community of Joshua Tree.
According to reports, the woman was running across Twenty-nine Palms Highway when she was hit. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she died shortly after. The accident is under investigation to determine why the deputy was unable to avoid the collision or if the woman was crossing the roadway illegally.
California Vehicle Code Section 21954 states, “Every pedestrian upon a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway so near as to constitute an immediate hazard.” However, it also states, “The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of a vehicle from the duty to exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian upon a roadway.”
I hope the family of the victim contacts an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will ensure that their legal rights are protected. If the investigation finds that the deputy was at fault, the family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the deputy as well as his or her employer.
