Big Rig crash shuts down Sonoma highway

A high-speed crash involving a big rig and two other vehicles shut down traffic in both directions  on State Highway 121 in Sonoma County early Tuesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The collision was first reported at about 5:30 a.m. on section of the highway just east of Eighth Street in unincorporated Sonoma County south of the city of Sonoma, CHP officials said.

A big rig, pickup truck and car were involved in the accident that left all three heavily damaged. Several people suffered moderate injuries in the crash, authorities said.

Cause of the Sonoma Accident

The cause of the April 24th crash remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.  While it is uncertain whether driver negligence, distracted and unsafe driving caused or contributed to this tragic accident, the victim’s family would be well-advised to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer.  An experienced and knowledgeable lawyer can advise the victim’s  family of their legal rights and best course of action to recover the compensation he is entitled to for medical care expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other related damages in this terrible  accident.

Liability for  Serious Injuries in Car Accidents

Seeking immediate counsel from an experienced  automobile accident attorney is well-advised following a car crash. In severe accidents such as this one the victims would benefit from speaking to an experienced personal injury lawyer regarding the protection of their legal rights and the compensation they are entitled to. And while it is uncertain who is liable for this incident, an attorney can also hire a highly skilled independent investigator to reconstruct the scene of the accident and determine who is responsible.
