Murrieta Man Killed in Camp Pendleton Traffic Accident

David Russell Lafferty, 62, of Murrieta, was killed in a car crash on Interstate 5 (I-5) on May 18, 2010. At about 5: 30 a.m., Lafferty was driving his Honda sedan when the carwent off the road for unknown reasons just north of the truck scales.

Lafferty is said to have lost control of his car which then went down an embankment. The emergency medics declared him dead at the scene of accident. The California Highway Patrol is still investigating the reason of this crash.

If the loss of control was due to uneven road or a mechanical failure, Lafferty’s family may be entitled for compensation. These types of claims are factually specific and require an immediate and detailed investigation be performed by trained experts managed by a skilled personal injury lawyer. Any delay in the investigation may result in the loss of key pieces of evidence. However, regardless of whether the accident is the fault of anyone else, our prayers go out to his family for their loss.
