Highway 180 extension in Fresno opening

On Thursday, December 3 a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held for the new extension of Highway 180 between Clovis and Temperance Avenues. There will also be a ground breaking for the widening of Highway 180 from two to four lanes between Temperance and Academy Avenues. Both of these projects will ease traffic for commuters. Federal stimulus money is being used to help cover the costs of the Temperance-Academy project. Expanding the highway from two lanes to four will not only cut down on traffic but will make the road safer for motorists. Two-lane highways often lend themselves to head-on collisions caused by motorists attempting to pass other motorists without ideal conditions. The attorneys of the lawfirm Nelson and Rozier specialize in automobile accidents of this nature. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

November 21 head on collision in Los Banos on Lander Avenue/Highway 165 kills one and injures three

On November 21 a man died when the car he was in hit another vehicle head-on on Lander Avenue, aka Highway 165, in Los Banos. Alberto Villanueva was driving a Ford Taurus south on Lander when he attempted to pass another vehicle. Villanueva failed to see the oncoming Nissan Maxima, driven by Sada Koshaba Sada, and hit it head-on. The passenger in the Maxima was killed in the accident. Both Sada and Villanueva were taken to Modesto hospitals with major injuries. A second passenger in Sada's car, Sami Odisha, was listed in critical condition at Memorial Medical Center.

 This tragic accident could have been avoided if Alberto Villanueva would have been aware of the oncoming car. While monetary compensation can not bring back the deceased, it can help to ease the burden of medical bills and funeral costs.

November 20 widening of Highway 198 in Kings and Tulare Counties officially begins

On November 20 a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the widening of Highway 198 in Tulare and Kings Counties. This stretch of road is a key agricultural goods movement corridor. It is also one of the most dangerous roads in the state. The current 2-lane highway will be expanded into a four-lane expressway between Hanford and Highway 99 near Visalia. The project is scheduled to be complete in the spring of 2012. Highway 198 has been a dangerous road for a long time. It is a two-lane highway that sees many motorists as they are headed to the central coast or The Palace Casino in Lemoore as well as trucks transporting agricultural goods.

On January 15, 2009 Robert Shane Travioli was killed in a 4-car crash on Highway 198 involving a semi-truck and two other vehicles.
