Driver Ran a Red Light, Dies in Collision

An accident in San Diego’s West Cedar Street that recently killed a 56-year-old man is believed to be caused by the driver’s fault as he reportedly ran a red light.

Reports say that the vehicular collision between the man’s vehicle and a truck caused minor injuries to the truck driver and fatal injuries to the negligent driver.

More and more accidents occur due to the carelessness of these motorists who are often hurt and end up in a bad condition after these road accidents caused by negligence.

So, victims of negligent drivers must immediately find personal injury lawyers who will see to it that the damages on their end will be compensated accordingly.

Driving Test Resulted to Accident, Instructor Injured

A 63-year-old DMV driving instructor sustained serious injuries after an unlicensed driver hit the passenger side of the vehicle he was sitting in.

The 57-year-old Richmond woman, Maria Adela Morales-Monterosa, was driving the vehicle that the instructor was riding in when she was broadsided by a Ford pick-up driven by an unlicensed driver from Santa Rosa.

Driving instructors are constantly in danger of car accidents as they ride vehicles driven by student drivers. But, in this case, the accident is said to be caused by another motorist.

The instructor, or his beneficiaries, may be eligible to recover compensatory damages for all the expenses and suffering that the accident inflicted upon them.

Teen Dies in Crash on Her Way to School

An 18-year-old California State University Los Angeles student Beth Amstone died on the scene of a single vehicular crash when she was ejected from her vehicle driven by her boyfriend, Deshawn Johnson, who was taking her to a bus stop to school.

Authorities are yet to rule out speeding as the cause of the accident but it appears that Johnson was not driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident happened.

It is possible that Amstone wasn’t wearing her seatbelt during the crash as she was ejected from her vehicle onto the pavement while her boyfriend only sustained minor injuries.

This tragedy should be a warning to all motorists to always wear their seatbelts whether travelling short or long distances as road accidents can happen to anyone at any given time.

Alleged 4th Red signal Violation Sparks Memories of Chatsworth Train Accident

With last year’s Chatsworth train accident still fresh in people’s minds, Metrolink has given commuters another reason to keep them away from riding the train.

Or more specifically, to be scared of riding Metrolink trains.

Last Tuesday a commuter train engineer allegedly failed to stop at a red signal as another train approached.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident and both trains were able to stop hundred feet apart.

According to initial reports, the engineer realized the problem after he ran the red light and quickly declared emergency on the radio as required, and stopped the train before going through a switch and onto a section being used by an oncoming Metrolink train.

The train that passed the red light had passengers on board from Union Station.

Although there were no injuries, Metrolink board members have expressed exasperation and frustration about these basic safety violations.

If proven, this will be the fourth violation of the same nature since the Chatsworth tragedy.

That is four violations in just a little over a year.

One of the board members called the violation inexcusable and that these engineers may be weeded out if they do not do their job.

And we should all say rightfully so.

A train is a common carrier, thus the engineers are required to practice the highest level of care in ensuring the safety of their passengers.

If they cannot abide by the simple safety rule of stopping in a red signal, how are we to believe that their trains are safe?

As of now, the offending engineer was removed from service pending completion of the probe.
