Santa Clara, CA (June 6, 2021) – One person died and three other victims sustained serious injuries in a wrong-way accident that occurred early Sunday, June 6, troopers with the California Highway Patrol said.
Patrol officers were alerted to the head-on collision around 4:30 a.m. near the Montague Expressway interchange to Highway 101. The driver of a Toyota Corolla was heading northbound on the southbound side of the highway and smashed into a Toyota Camry. A Nissan Sentra going southbound then crashed into the Camry after the initial collision occurred.
One person in the Corolla died, though it's unclear if they were a driver or passenger. Three people in the two other vehicles were transported to hospitals via ambulance in serious condition.
All lanes of the highway were reopened by about 8:30 a.m., though troopers say the investigation is ongoing.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of a full recovery.
Almost 35,000 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, major thoroughfares connecting large city centers, local streets, and beyond. Furthermore, the large number of suburbs and city centers in Northern California means more traffic and drivers on the road, making serious accidents like wrong-way incidents or catastrophic multi-vehicle crashes more common.
Unfortunately, serious car accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an all-too-frequent part of life in the Golden State. 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 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.
