Lunchtime traffic can begin to build in Visalia before and after the noon hour. The increase in traffic levels can put even more motorists at risk of accidents. A careless driver can fail to monitor the road ahead and veer over yellow lines into the opposite lanes.
These lapses in judgment often end in devastating head-on collisions. Drivers and passengers can receive traumatic injuries and have their lives placed in jeopardy.
Major Two-Car Collision in Visalia Claims Two Lives
A tragic accident in southwest Visalia led to two fatalities Wednesday afternoon. KSEE-TV reported the collision occurred on Demaree Street just south of West La Vida Avenue on March 15, 2023.
Visalia Police responded to the scene at around 12:30 p.m. and determined that the driver of a black GMC pickup traveling north on Demaree veered into oncoming traffic for an unknown reason. It struck a southbound black Cadillac sedan. The impact did major damage to the front ends of both vehicles.
Two people in the Cadillac, the driver and a passenger, were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names have been withheld until family members can be notified. The man driving the pickup was rushed to a local hospital with injuries.
The Visalia Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Seeking Assistance for Families After a Visalia Car Accident
Families who have lost a loved one in a devastating accident can be unfairly subjected to financial hardships soon after a collision.
A wrongful death claim may be filed by the family to protect themselves from these losses and more in the wake of a terrible accident. The civil claim would target the at-fault driver’s car insurance provider.
The family would seek help to pay the bills for a burial and emergency response fees. The mourning family might also be left without the monthly income and benefits a family member had always provided and should ask for support to protect relatives in the years ahead.
