Travelers on the narrow, curvy highways of Santa Cruz County and San Benito County know how hard it can be to keep a vehicle on the road and between the lines. Careless or distracted drivers will have an even harder time monitoring the position of other vehicles and their own.
Drivers not watching the road can miss a car slowing to a stop in front of them. They might also fail to notice their cars veering into oncoming traffic until it’s too late. These common mistakes can be devastating in small lanes when other drivers have no room to avoid a serious collision.
Four Vehicle Crash Claims One Life and Injures Two People Near Aromas
A multi-vehicle accident tragically left at least one person dead and badly hurt at least two others. It happened Wednesday afternoon near the Santa Cruz County and San Benito County line. KION-TV reports the accident occurred around 4 p.m. east of Aromas along Highway 129 on April 6, 2022.
The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene just west of Old Chittenden Road. Investigators said the crash involved four vehicles.
At least one victim from the scene was said to have died. At least two other victims were rushed to the hospital with major injuries. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident continues.
Seeking Help for Victims and Families After a Highway 129 Accident
Families who have lost a loved one in a terrible accident may face extreme financial difficulties in a short time. A wrongful death claim filed against an at-fault driver’s car insurance provider can ask for assistance with expenses such as burial costs and lingering medical bills. This claim is also intended to provide for the family in the future when they’ll have to rebuild their lives without the financial support a loved one would have provided.
Surviving victims of a traffic accident can face difficult and expensive recoveries. Filing a claim for damages against an insurance company sees that medical bills and lost wages at work are reimbursed. This civil claim can also factor in the physical pain and emotional distress the victim endures when determining the amount of a fair settlement.
