A woman from Henderson, Nevada, lost her life in a rollover crash on Interstate 15 near Baker, San Bernardino County, on early Saturday, October 26, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol Barstow area, officers responded to reports of an accident requiring an ambulance at approximately 1:40 a.m.
Upon arrival, they identified the deceased as 21-year-old Bethany G., who was driving a 2016 Toyota Scion northbound on I-15 with a 21-year-old male passenger from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Investigators reported that Garcia’s vehicle veered toward the right shoulder, crossed over, and rolled down a dirt embankment, continuing in a northeasterly direction before coming to rest on its wheels in the open desert.
During the rollover, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. The male passenger sustained minor injuries and declined medical assistance.
Authorities do not believe that alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing.
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.
