Two Die In Downtown San Diego Auto Accident
Two people died in a fatal head-on Downtown San Diego auto accident that occurred on April 16, 2011, around 1:25 a.m. on Interstate 5 near Downtown San Diego. According to the California Highway Patrol Officers, this fatal head on collision occurred between a red Nissan Altima and a Honda Civic Sedan as both of them were crossing each other at Route 163.
Cassaundra Olivarria, 23, the Nissan driver was immediately transported to UCSD Medical Center for treatment and was pronounced dead there around 3:35 a.m., whereas the Honda driver was pronounced dead at the accident scene.
According to California Highway Patrol Officers, the exact cause of this fatal car accident that took lives of two people is still under investigation. However, since this was a head-on auto accident, it seems that one of the drivers was driving the wrong way on the freeway. Based on the limited information and the fact that two drivers were involved, it is not clear as to whose negligence or inattentive driving lead to this car accident. The possibility of any other contributing factor cannot be ruled out. Were any of the drivers driving under influence? Were the drivers fatigued? We trust that the investigating officials would take all these possibilities into consideration while determining the exact cause of this car accident.
The families of the victims should immediately seek counsel from an experienced San Diego car accident attorney who would help them obtain compensation to cover expenses involved in funeral and burial procedures, loss of anticipated future lifetime earnings of the victim, and loss of love, care and companionship. An experienced car accident attorney will not only be able to help obtain compensation but also carry on an independent investigation. Promptness is a major factor in such investigation and only a timely investigation can yield constructive results.
Our law office offers our sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved the victims for their loss. We really hope that they gather enough power to deal with this tragic accident.
