Long stretches of highway along Madera farmland can be prime places for drivers to lose focus on the road. A small veer in one direction or another can result in a devastating collision, especially when cars are approaching in the opposite lanes.
A head-on collision combines the speeds of both vehicles in an impact and can result in traumatic injuries for drivers and passengers. Victims may need immediate emergency care in order to give them the best chance for survival.
Weekend Madera Head-On Collision Hospitalizes Three Victims
A devastating head-on collision in southern Madera County injured three people Sunday morning.
ABC30-TV reports the accident happened along Avenue 7 near the intersection of Road 25, south of Madera, on March 19, 2023.
The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at around 11:30 a.m. They determined that the driver of a westbound silver Nissan car ran off the road for an unknown reason. When trying to regain control, the driver ran into an oncoming Toyota Camry.
Two people in the Nissan and one person in the Toyota suffered major injuries. They were rushed to a local hospital. An update on their conditions has not been released.
The California Highway Patrol does not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in what happened. They continue to investigate.
Securing Compensation for Madera County Car Accident Victims
Victims will be fighting to recover after a major accident. They shouldn’t have to worry about what their hospital bills will cost. They need full support from an at-fault driver’s car insurer.
Victims must ask for compensation for these and other hardships:
- Hospital bills now and those expected in the future.
- Lifelong support for a permanent disability.
- Replacement of benefits and income victims lose while having to miss work.
- Additional support for physical pain and emotional trauma endured.
- Wrongful death benefits. Family members of victims who tragically passed on due to their injuries should seek help with funeral costs and leftover medical bills. The income the deceased can no longer provide to loved ones in the future should also factor into a settlement check.
