One person was killed, and several others sustained minor injuries in a fiery four-vehicle crash in Sunnyvale late Wednesday afternoon, January 29, 2025. Speed was likely a factor.
According to the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, the deadly collision occurred at approximately 5:07 p.m. in the area of Lawrence Expressway and Lochinvar Avenue.
When first responders arrived, they found one vehicle overturned and fully engulfed in flames, trapping the driver inside. Unfortunately, emergency personnel were unable to rescue them due to the intense fire. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Occupants of the other involved vehicles suffered only minor injuries and remained at the scene, cooperating with authorities.
Officials believe speed was a contributing factor in the crash. The expressway was shut down between Benton Street and Homestead Road for several hours as authorities investigated.
The Sunnyvale DPS is urging witnesses to come forward with any information related to the crash by calling (408) 730-7110.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
