One person sustained non-life-threatening injuries following a collision between a sedan and a box truck on the southbound Interstate 15 freeway in Victorville on Tuesday afternoon, November 12, 2024.
The crash occurred at approximately 3:40 p.m., just south of Bear Valley Road, when a gray Chevy Impala collided with a 30-foot box truck owned by HD Supply.
The impact caused the box truck to crash into the guardrail and come to a stop sideways on the freeway, while the Chevy ended up in a drainage ditch with its driver’s side trapped beneath the rear of the box truck.
Firefighters from the Victorville City Fire Department responded and performed an extrication to free the driver. The injured individual was transported by ground ambulance to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The California Highway Patrol’s Victorville station is investigating the cause of the collision.
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.
