There’s often less traffic on rural roads running through Santa Maria, but sometimes drivers get more careless on these routes.
Drivers can look at a cell phone and miss that traffic is slowing down ahead. Drivers may not realize they are veering out of a lane and into the path of an oncoming car. Reckless drivers can travel so fast that they lose control in a curve and endanger the lives of all motorists around them.
These and other mistakes can leave accident victims with traumatic injuries and leave them facing life-threatening injuries.
Three Vehicles Involved in Santa Maria Accident Sending Three to Hospital
A multi-car accident in western Santa Maria left three people hospitalized Thursday afternoon. KSBY-TV reports the collision happened at the 2600 Block of Mahoney Road, near Black Road, on June 1, 2023.
The Santa Barbara County Fire responded to the scene sometime after 1 p.m. They say the crash involved three cars. One vehicle wound up 10 feet off the roadway. Two of the vehicles suffered so much damage that the occupants inside had to be freed from the cars.
Two women were in one of the cars. One of the women suffered major injuries and had to be flown to Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. The other woman had minor injuries and was taken to Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria.
The driver of a second vehicle also suffered serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital in Santa Maria. The vehicle that left the road had a female driver inside. She wasn’t hurt.
The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the frightening crash.
Support for Victims After a Major Santa Maria Car Accident
Those hurt in frightening accidents must often deal with difficult and expensive recoveries. For surviving victims, a claim for damages against an at-fault driver’s car insurance company can prove the best option when trying to get every cost of recovery reimbursed.
Victims can file this civil claim or a family member can file on their behalf. A skilled accident attorney can also file on behalf of the family and secure evidence that forces a car insurance provider to furnish victims with the maximum in compensation available.
A major car accident settlement should factor in these hardships and more:
- Support to pay every current hospital bill and every bill expected in the future.
- Support for the time at work victims miss while healing from a painful injury.
- Support for the physical pain victims endure.
- Support for the emotional trauma victims are put through in a crash and during difficult recoveries.
