A truck driver was injured in a two-vehicle crash that took place on January 9, around 3 a.m. in El Cajon. According to California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers, a white colored Honda Civic and a truck plowed into each other on an Interstate 8 onramp, east of Mollison Ave.
The crash impact caused the truck to roll over on its side. The roof of the Honda Civic was slashed open and the windshield was crushed. The Honda Civic driver fled from the rollover accident site after the crash.
Emergency crew responded to the crash and immediately took the truck driver to a local hospital for immediate medical attention.
A search was conducted by emergency crews both on foot and by air to locate the Honda Civic driver. We sincerely hope that the Honda motorist is apprehended as soon as possible and brought to justice.
There are several reasons why a driver might choose to flee the accident site, including having no or suspended driver’s license, no insurance, distracted driving, and being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A complete investigation in this case is needed to determine the at-fault party.
It was revealed by national government statistics that more than 11% of car accidents are hit-and-run crashes. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), around 15,600 hit-and-run collisions were reported in the year 2009. In these, around 15,400 people were injured and more than 100 died.
When someone is hit and seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident, the end result of such a situation can be extremely hard for anyone to handle. Professional help from an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney can help the injured truck driver pursue legal action against the at-fault motorist and receive compensation for damages done.
Due to the nature of hit-and-run accidents, it may seem trickier to recover damages from insurance companies. The injured victims should seek counsel from an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney who is well equipped to deal with these complex situations.
