San Francisco, CA (July 12, 2021) – Police say that a vehicle rear-ended another car on southbound Interstate 280 in San Francisco's Outer Mission neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, July 11, resulting in serious injuries.
California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Andrews said that the crash was first reported around 5:00 p.m. One of the vehicles overturned as a result of the initial impact, though the occupants apparently sustained only minor injuries and escaped their car on foot. Troopers said that two children and one adult from the other car were taken to a trauma center via ambulance. San Francisco fire officials said the victims are expected to recover, however.
Three lanes of I-280 were blocked between the San Jose Avenue on-ramp and the Ocean Avenue off-ramp for an hour while police investigated. They are still attempting to track down the driver of the overturned vehicle.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
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. 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 Bay Area accident 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.
