A two-vehicle collision resulted in the death of one driver in Imperial County, on Thursday morning, February 13, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 9:42 a.m. on State Route 115 and Boyd Road. A 2000 Chevrolet Blazer traveling westbound on Boyd Road collided with a northbound tractor-trailer on SR-115.
The impact caused both vehicles to overturn. The driver of the Blazer, a 34-year-old man, sustained fatal injuries and was not wearing a seatbelt. The 62-year-old driver of the big rig, who was wearing a seatbelt, suffered minor injuries and was transported to Desert Regional Medical Center.
CHP continues to investigate the cause of the crash and reminds motorists that seatbelt use is the most effective way to reduce injuries and fatalities in motor vehicle collisions.
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.
