Two Killed In San Diego Car Accident Along I-5
A 58-year old man and woman were killed in a fatal San Diego truck accident that occurred on October 11, 2010, in the Bay Park area of San Diego along Interstate 5 (I-5). Both of them were among four people travelling in a Toyota Tundra northbound along the freeway when it spun out of control just south of Clairemont Drive. This San Diego traffic accident occurred around 11 a.m.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the man killed in this truck accident was driving the truck that went out of control and spun before coming to rest. The truck driver made an attempt to change lanes when he swerved the truck to avoid colliding with another vehicle.
Witnesses present at the traffic accident scene reported that the truck weaved around before it started skidding on the freeway. CHP public affairs Officer Jesse Udovich said that two other occupants present in the truck suffered injuries and were transported to Scripps Hospital for treatment.
Investigating officers need to find out the exact cause of this fatal San Diego truck accident that took two lives. They need to find out whether the driver lost control due to unsafe road conditions or any mechanical defect in the car. If it is found that the driver lost control due to any design issue, mechanical fault, or bad condition of road, then the victims’ families can file a wrongful death suit for compensation. The victims’ families can seek compensation for funeral and burial costs and loss of love and companionship. Injured victims are also eligible for a compensation to cover cost of medical treatment, medical costs, and other accident related damages.
We express our sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved the victims for such a tragic and devastating loss. We also hope and pray that the injured victims recover from their injuries as soon as possible
