Deshaun Glover, 20, and Candice McLean, 21, were killed in a fatal San Diego car accident that occurred on northbound Interstate 805 on November 12, 2010 before 1:30 a.m. According to the county Medical Examiner's Office, Glover was riding the car while McLean was a passenger at the back seat when this accident occurred.

According to the California Highway Patrol, both the victims were ejected from the vehicle as it skidded off the pathway and went out of control. Two other females present in the car at the time suffered minor to moderate injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The exact cause of this car accident is under investigation.

It cannot be ruled out that the car might have skidded due to poor road conditions or due to a mechanical failure. Was the road wet and did that cause the car to skid? Was there a danger sign missing to caution any road condition? If it is found that this car accident occurred to any design issue or unkempt roads, then the concerned authority might be held liable for victims’ death. Glover’s and McLean’s family members can file a wrongful death claim against the government agency in charge of the road to obtain compensation to cover the cost of funeral, loss of love and companionship, loss of anticipated future earnings of the deceased, and other accident related damages.

We offer our sincere condolences to Glover’s and McLean’s family for such a heart rendering loss. The loss of young children is catastrophic and we wish for strength for the family to pass through this tough time.
