Vacaville, CA (March 28, 2021) – Two people trapped in an overturned vehicle after a car crash were rescued by fire personnel on Interstate Highway 80 in Vacaville early Sunday morning, March 28.
Troopers with the California Highway Patrol responded around 5:45 a.m. to a report of a vehicle on its side about 75 feet off the roadway on westbound I-80. The accident occurred just west of Leisure Town Road. The driver and passenger, both conscious but seriously injured, were able to tell responders they were trapped inside the vehicle. Fire rescue units were dispatched to free them from the vehicle, the CHP said. Both victims were transported to an area medical center, though their current conditions are unknown.
The events leading up to the crash are unclear, but the investigation continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
Authorities with the California Department of Transportation said that 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.
Serious car accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California. 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 Bay Area injury 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.
