Grass Valley, CA – On the afternoon of Monday, December 8, 2025, a multi-vehicle collision resulted in several people being hospitalized with injuries ranging from minor to moderate, according to FOX40.

The Nevada County Consolidated Fire District reports that the accident took place around 4:00 PM at the intersection of Dog Bar Road and Rattlesnake Road.

Responders determined that three vehicles were involved in the crash, including one that was found flipped over, and crews worked to reach all occupants safely despite the challenging scene.

A total of five patients were treated for various levels of trauma, and each was transported to a hospital for additional medical evaluation. Officials noted that multiple agencies, including CHP Grass Valley and Sierra Nevada Ambulance, assisted in the response as the cause of the collision continues to be reviewed.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence

Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.  

Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
