San Martin, CA (July 4, 2021) – Troopers with the California Highway Patrol responded to a fatal crash on Sunday morning, July 4, in the San Martin area.
Officials say that the collision was reported shortly before 10:00 a.m. and occurred at Mammini Court near East San Martin Avenue in unincorporated Santa Clara County. The CHP said on social media that they were still investigating the cause of the crash, though initial reports indicate that many as three vehicles were involved, including a sedan and a large truck. Deputies with Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office were on the scene as well.
Additionally, EMS units were dispatched to the crash to provide ground transport, but the total number of injured victims is unknown. The investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing, and further details about those involved have not been released.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery.
California authorities say that nearly 40,000 vehicle accidents resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways over the last decade. Furthermore, California averages more than 100 fatal truck crashes per year. Throughout the Golden State, more than 3,000 truck accidents result in injuries yearly, with many vulnerable victims left to pick up the pieces after a commercial truck collision. Occasionally, victims succumb to their injuries from these wrecks, leaving grieving families in a tough position, both emotionally and financially.
Serious truck accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are all too common in California, from busy city centers in the Bay Area to the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. When victims are injured in a truck accident, they may have to deal with large commercial entities and a trucking company's insurance adjusters, in addition to long-term physical pain and expensive hospital bills. Grieving families who have lost their loved ones as a result of a truck accident are left to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.
