Posted on behalf of Arnold Law Firm in
lamborghini crashAn expensive Lamborghini was traveling eastbound on Del Paso and Truxel Road, when it rolled over and burst into flames. Witnesses in Natomas, where the accident occurred after 7 p.m. on Monday night, reported seeing two vehicles chasing one another shortly before the accident. Law enforcement officials, however, have not been able to confirm these reports and officials are still looking to establish whether another vehicle, was in fact on the scene. According to authorities, there were reportedly two individuals in the car when it crashed and caught on fire. Amazingly, both occupants only sustained minor injuries and they were transported to area hospitals with emergency medical personnel. The Sacramento Fire Department arrived on the scene to extinguish the flames and traffic was delayed in the area until authorities could clear the scene. Officials suspect that the driver was speeding shortly before he lost control. However, no one was arrested and drugs and alcohol are not believed to be factors.

Dangers of Speeding

Truck Accident

A 20-year-old man who had been married for just 12 days left home on his way to work. He was driving on Pleasant Grove Road in Sutter County in the early morning when he came upon a slow-moving truck. As he pulled out to pass the truck, the truck driver turned left in front of him. The young man attempted to steer back into his lane but his vehicle struck an un-flagged piece of metal extending from the back of the truck. He died in the resulting crash.

Expert witnesses brought in by the Arnold Law Firm proved that the truck, owned and operated by a hauling firm, should never have been on the highway that morning. Specifically, the rear and side turn signals did not work and the rear-view mirror was in a poor state of adjustment at the time of the collision. As a result, the driver, who had failed to properly inspect the vehicle before setting out that morning, couldn’t see the young man’s vehicle as it attempted to pass.

The poor condition of the truck, its lack of maintenance and the manner in which it was operated were found to be substantial factors in causing the collision that killed the young man. The testimony also established that the man had been making a lawful pass at the lawful speed limit and acted reasonably when he attempted to avoid the collision.

The man’s 20-year-old widow was awarded $3,767,000.77, his parents were awarded $185,131 and the family was reimbursed $11,899 in funeral expenses. Though money is a poor substitute for a young man’s life, this verdict demonstrates that drivers who endanger the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions.
