Officers with the Richmond Police Department responded to South 37th Street and Carlson Boulevard around 2:30 a.m. Upon arrival, they discovered two badly damaged vehicles at the scene, an Audi SUV and an Acura sedan. The Acura's driver was trapped in his vehicle and had to be extricated. He was airlifted to a local trauma center but succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The driver of the SUV sustained moderate injuries and exhibited signs of impairment on the scene. A passenger in his vehicle suffered major injuries, and both individuals were transported to the hospital via ambulance for treatment.

California Fatal Car Accidents

Per reports from California Department of Transportation officials, more than 30,000 traffic accidents resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways over the last several years. As a result, thousands of lives are lost every year on California's highways, particularly on major thoroughfares connecting large city centers like San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area, local streets across the state, and beyond.

Unfortunately, car accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are a common part of life in California. When multiple victims are involved in an accident and sustain injuries, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills.

Santa Clara, CA - Woman Hit & Killed in Bicycle Accident on Hale Ave at Blossom Ct

Santa Clara, CA (June 23, 2021) – A crash that killed a bicyclist was reported around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 19, in Santa Clara County, according to troopers with the California Highway Patrol.

Officers were dispatched to the scene of the accident, which occurred on Hale Avenue north of Blossom Court in the Coyote community, at approximately 7:23 a.m. CHP officers said that a 26-year-old man driving a 2003 Honda sedan southbound on Hale drifted onto the paved shoulder. Shortly afterward, he struck a 51-year-old female cyclist in the bike lane, causing her to be thrown from her bicycle.

The man pulled to the side of the road and called 911 while witnesses and bystanders stopped to help. EMS was dispatched but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The CHP said it did not appear alcohol or drugs played a role in the accident, though the investigation is ongoing.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim.

Bicycle Accidents in California

Santa Clara, CA - Woman Hit & Killed in Bicycle Accident on Hale Ae at Blossom Ct

Data released in the last several years by the California Department of Transportation show that fatal bike injuries are on the rise throughout the Golden State. In fact, more than 60% of fatal bicycle crashes were caused by distracted drivers hitting cyclists, even when riders used bike lanes or the sidewalk to observe traffic regulations. Furthermore, cyclists are particularly vulnerable to serious injury or death after a bike crash. Due to the fact that bicyclists do not have the protection of passenger vehicles, riders may be subject to more severe consequences as a result of an accident.

These serious bike accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California, particularly in busy metro locations like the Bay Area. When multiple victims are injured in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.

But the victims and their families affected by these wrecks can seek help from a California wrongful death attorney. A skilled attorney in California can help victims seek justice and the fair compensation they deserve after suffering in an accident that occurred through no fault of their own.
