Two female pedestrians were hospitalized with major injuries after being struck by an SUV in downtown Napa on Monday afternoon, November 25, 2024.
The crash occurred around 3:00 p.m. in the 1400 block of First Street near the School Street intersection, according to Officer Tommy Keener of the Napa Police Department.
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan struck the two pedestrians before colliding with a building between the Andaz Hotel and Tarla Mediterranean Bar + Grill.
Both pedestrians were transported by ambulance to Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center with major injuries. The male driver of the SUV, who sustained minor injuries, was also taken to the hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the crash remains ongoing, though alcohol is not believed to have been a factor, according to Keener.
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.
