Four people were injured after a four-vehicle collision in Temecula on Friday afternoon, July 19, 2024.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident happened at about 1:48 p.m. on southbound Interstate 15, near the entrance ramp from Rancho California Road.
The crash reportedly involved two SUVs and two sedans. Upon arriving at the scene, responders found one of the SUVs flipped on its roof. They then quickly triaged the victims.
The driver of the overturned SUV sustained severe injuries, which were described as life-threatening. Meanwhile, the occupants of the other three involved cars suffered minor to moderate injuries. It appears that the four vehicles only had their respective drivers inside at the time of the crash.
All four injured drivers were transported to Inland Valley Medical Center in Widomar for treatment. Their identities and current statuses were not available at the time of writing.
The official cause of the incident is still unclear. It is not immediately known if alcohol, drugs, or speeding played a role in the serious collision.
The CHP closed off the Rancho California Road on-ramp to southbound I-15 while they investigated and cleared the scene.
Additional information was not immediately available. The investigation is 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.
