Car accidents in Los Angeles can strike at any time but are especially common during certain times of the day when there are more drivers on the road. Whether it be the morning commute to work or rush hour traffic, Los Angeles has some of the most congested and crowded roadways. Obviously, with more people trying to get to work or school, accidents with injuries are always possible.
Three Injured in Ventura Boulevard Morning Car Accident
A woman was critically injured and two others were seriously injured in a morning car crash along Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, as reported by Patch. The accident occurred around 8:00 a.m. on the morning of Wednesday, December 21, 2022, and involved two vehicles–one driven by a 35-year-old woman who was critically injured and the other driven by a 57-year-old man that was seriously injured. A passenger in the second vehicle, a 67-year-old woman, also suffered serious injuries in the collision.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) responded to the crash shortly after it was reported along the 21400 block of West Ventur Boulevard in Woodland Hills. Crews had to extinguish a fire in one of the vehicles, and paramedics transported the injured to local hospitals for treatment.
The cause of the crash is unknown and is still under investigation by authorities.
Los Angeles Car Accident Risks and Injuries
Suffering a car accident is, unfortunately, a common occurrence in Los Angeles. The risk of an accident is increased if you drive during certain times of the day, such as the accident above that happened during the morning rush hour. With so many people trying to get to work, there are more drivers on the road to contend with.
2019 Data from the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) found that there were over 122,000 injuries in car accidents that occurred during morning hours, with:
- 18,895 occurring between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
- 19,416 occurring between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
This data shows how common injuries can be in these car accidents, but since every car accident is unique, it can be difficult to determine what kind of injury will result. Still, every car accident carries with it the possibility of serious injuries like:
- Whiplash
- Head, neck, and shoulder injuries
- Lacerations
- Fractures and broken bones
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Ligament tears
- Joint dislocations
- Burn injuries
