An unidentified motorist died in a fatal two-vehicle wreck that took place on January 6 around 8 a.m. on Friars Road. According to the San Diego Police, the motorist was exiting northbound Interstate 15 on road that was newly rained on when the vehicle spun out of control and hit a fuel delivery truck going east towards Friars Road.
The car driver died at the accident site. Our law office sends heartfelt condolences to the deceased victim’s family and friends for such a shocking loss.
Although authorities stated that wet road was the main reason why the car driver lost control of the car, other factors such as speed and/or distraction from either party may have also contributed to the accident as well. Further investigation is certainly required.
Rain can make driving on roads much more dangerous. Making a sudden stop or trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle can have negative repercussions on wet road compared to dry road. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), auto accidents tend to increase by more than 200% in rain and the main reason behind this is that motorists do not alter their normal day-to-day driving habits.
All drivers need to remember to drive slower and to change quick driving behavior during rainy weather and after the rain has stopped.
We advise the deceased victim’s family members to seek advice and counsel from an experienced San Diego car accident wrongful death lawyer who will determine their legal options.
Please remember to drive safely during winter months in San Diego, especially during or after poor weather. Let’s do our part in making our streets, wet or not, much safer.
