9-Year-Old Girl Killed in Interstate 680 Collision [Concord, CA]

Concord, CA (April 7, 2024) – A 9-year-old girl was killed and four others were injured following an Interstate 680 collision Sunday morning.

It was about 5:14 a.m. when the authorities received the fatal crash report.

Troopers said a gray Mazda CX-9 was northbound when it drove through the dirt median that separates the two freeways. As a result, the vehicle overturned several times and landed on its roof.   

Sadly, the rescuers declared the 9-year-old deceased at the scene while other females inside the car were taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek with major injuries.     

Troopers said several occupants in the vehicle weren’t wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Investigators said the 30-year-old male driver of the vehicle fled the scene before the authorities arrived.

Interstate 680 Collision Results in Fatality

Dealing with a loved one’s sudden and tragic death is indeed painful. It would undoubtedly take a lot of time to recover from this loss.

However, the worst part to consider is when the death was a result of other people’s negligence.

That is why hiring a legal expert to help with a possible wrongful death claim is one of the best decisions one could make now.

Moreover, knowing that each state has laws covering who can file a wrongful death suit on behalf of the deceased is helpful. These people are related to or depend financially on the person who died. The law usually allows the following people to file a wrongful death case:

• Surviving spouses;
• Domestic partners (registered domestic partnership);
• Children of the deceased;
• Financial dependents, parents, and minors under the care of the deceased;
• Personal representatives.
• These people can differ from state to state.
