Stolen vehicle in Kern County strikes Tree

October 21, 2009--Last Wednesday an apparently stolen vehicle struck a tree after the driver made an unsafe turning movement.  California law provides that if personal injuries are caused during the commission of a felony, even if another party were at fault, for the accident damages would be limited to only out of pocket bills.  This Kern county accident is still under investigation and certainly at this point only the driver seems responsible.  Please slow down out there.

Fresno Biker Killed

October 21, 2009--David Valdez of Fresno was killed when he collidied with a pickup west of Fresno on Shaw avenue last Wednesday.  He was 26 years of age and riding without a helmet or lights, according to early reports.  The motorcycle was an off-road Yamaha.  The 6:30 am accident occurred when the truck turned into the path of the cycle which may have been traveling at a high rate of speed.

Yet to be investigated are the exact speeds of each vehicle, whether lights were required at that time of day, other lighting available, the use of turn signals, and related issues.  If you have further information about this accident please call Attorney John Rozier at 559-713-0159 or john@nelsonrozier.com
