January 1 drunken driving accident on Highway 46 near Delano kills three people

On January 1 three people were killed when a drunk driver caused a fatal accident on Highway 46 near Delano. Reportedly Erculano Sanchez Hernandez was driving eastbound on Highway 46 at a fast speed when he rear-ended a Honda driven by Richard Jung. The Honda then crossed into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Jung, his passenger, and the driver of the oncoming Chevrolet were killed as a result of the accident. A passenger in the Chevrolet was treated for major injuries. Hernandez and one of his passengers were not injured. A second passenger was treated for moderate injuries. In the criminal precedings, Hernandez has plead not guilty to second-degree murder and ten other charges. He remains in jail. There is also the possibility of a civil suit. While monetary compensation cannot bring back the deceased, it can help to support any dependants who may have been left behind and can help to ease the burden of burial costs.

Highway 46 accident causes wrongful deaths

January 1, 2010--According to the Bakersfield Californian newspaper, 2 more accident victims died in a  Highway 46 accident on New Years Day.  Alcohol was believed to be involved.  A Delano driver rearended a vehicle with 2 occupants, Hyun Kim, age 49 and her son Richard Jung, age 21, both of whom died in the accident.  This latest Highway 46 wreck occurred just east of the San Luis Obispo line in Kern County.

The Kim vehicle was propelled into the opposing lanes and this resulted in serious injuries to the occupants of that third vehicle.

Issues to be investigated include whether roadway conditions contributed to this collision, the speeds of all three vehicles, whether any driver had a last clear chance to avoid impact, analysis of the black box data from each vehicle, the involvement of alcohol and/or drugs, the insurances available as to any responsible party, underinsured motorist coverages, the extent of assets of any at fault driver, and the extent to which medical expenses can be negotiated downward.  The first step is to send an accident reconstruction engineer to the scene of the accident.  If you or a family member has been wrongly affected by this accident, then please consider calling us at 559-713-0159 in Visalia.  Highway 46 is well known to our firm and our retained engineer stands ready to inspect the scene of this accident.  Please review our other postings about Highway 46 and the description of our firm's handling of a case on Highway 46 very similar to this one.   John Rozier.
