The crash happened at about 7:15 AM, when the driver of a car eastbound on the highway crossed lanes into the opposite direction of traffic and collided head-on with a big rig truck at Mc Kibben Road.

The impact from the crash caused the trailer of the semi, that was full of sand and gravel, to overturn onto the shoulder of the road. The force of the impact was so great that it crushed the cab of the big rig and killed the driver, 76-year-old Charles Edward Lawson.

The driver of the car, Josue A. Hernandez was critically injured and airlifted to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield.

It is reported that Hernandez was not trying to pass anyone. The CHP are now trying to figure out if he was possibly falling asleep at the wheel.

This accident requires much more investigation. Please let me help. Attorney John Rozier in Visalia 559-713-0159.

Foggy road near Delano leads to wrongful death of Wasco man

February 2, 2010--According to the Bakersfield Californian newspaper, Tuesday's fatal crash between a truck and a big rig took place in heavy tule fog near Delano.  The decedent was identified as 34 year old Moises Vargas Gonzalez of Wasco.  He was driving northbound on Highway 43 when a big rig driven by Casimiro Casares made a left turn in front of him.

This is very similar to another case handled by our office where we were able to collect a substantial settlement from the left turning truck in a fog accident.  In that other case the police report also blamed the driver who had the right of way.  By looking at the black box data in the air bag module, and by hiring an accident engineer we found a bend in the road which contributed to the accident and otherwise were able to show that the tanker driver should not have made his turn at that location.

If hired by the family of Moises Vargas Gonzalez we will do a similar investigation to see if shared liability can be shown.  Please call his family to offer our services.  http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

Highway 46/Blood Alley Fatal Accidents October 23 and October 28

On October 28 there was a deadly crash on Highway 46 also known as Blood Alley. This was the second fatal crash in a week's time. The crash on October 28 was east of Wasco near Wildwood Road.

The crash occurred when a car was trying to pass others on a two-lane stretch of road. Passing on a two-lane road can be very dangerous if there is not proper visibility. In this instance a Toyota with 3 people was trying to pass a motor home. When the driver of the Toyota realized he did not have enough room to pass it was too late. The Toyota tried to get back into the right lane, but it instead hit a flat bed truck when it lost control. Officers claim that unsafe driving practices, rather than road conditions were to blame for the crash. The 19-year-old male driver of the Toyota and two female passengers were killed. The driver of the flat bad truck was treated for moderate injuries.

Previously, on October 23 there was a similar accident also on Highway 46. This accident occurred east of Highway 33, near Blackwell's Corner. Once again a car was attempting to pass another on a two-lane stretch of road. A Chevrolet with a man, woman, and infant tried to pass several trucks. The Chevrolet struck a Toyota Prius with two people. The man in the Chevrolet and the infant passenger were killed along with a man and woman in the Prius.

While both accidents are considered tragic, officers have stated that unsafe driving, not road conditions, was to blame for both accidents. If you or a friend or family member were involved in either of these accidents please contact us for a free consultation. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/

Second crash in a week on Highway 46

October 28, 2009--Three people were killed Wednesday afternoon in a crash on Highway 46.  It was the second crash in less than a week on a section of roadway called Blood Alley.  The latest accident was 3 miles west of Wasco near Wildwood Road in Kern County.

On Friday, three adults and a child were killed in a crash near Blackwell's Corner about a mile east of Highway 33.

In the latest accident a Toyota was mangled in a clash with a 1-ton flatbed truck.  Once again a vehicle was attempting to pass when it was perhaps unsafe to do so.  This matter is still under investigation.  Once again the CHP claimed that bad driving and not a bad road is to blame.

If you would like this matter to be investigated further, please contact Attorney John Rozier of Visalia.
