Motorcycle crash in Tulare sends man to hospital

August 24, 2010--Yesterday's motorcycle crash west of Tulare sent Henry Carrasco, age 35 of Tulare to the hospital with serious leg injuries.  The location of the accident was on West street just north of Gail.  A Ford Explorer driven by Phyllis Valenzuela reportedly turned left into his path.

Before the vehicles are repaired it would be important to determine ifthe black box data on the Explorer may have preserved the speed of that vehicle.  Further, a thorough investigation will rule out comparative fault.  Our firm is located just 10 miles from the scene of this accident.  Please give us a call.

August 8 Tulare County pedestrian accident

On August 8 one person was killed after being hit by a car.  Reportedly the accident happened just north of Tulare on West Street near Zumwalt Avenue. Tess Wilker was driving north on West Street when she hit the pedestrian who was also traveling north. Wilker said she did not see the pedestrian until it was too late. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

As an update, the black box data on the car may tell us its speed before impact.  Also, the color of clothing worn, the activities of the pedestrian and the width of the road all come into play.  Call us if you would like a full review of this incident.
