San Mateo County, CA (April 8, 2022) – On Friday, a BMW driver in his 30s sustained fatal injuries in a Highway 92 head-on collision.
The fatal incident happened around 4:30 p.m. on the freeway’s eastbound lanes at Canada Road, west of Interstate 280.
Immediately, the California Highway Patrol and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene.
Officials say a gray BMW was westbound on the freeway when an eastbound red Honda Accord veered into the westbound lane and collided head-on with the BMW.
Unfortunately, the BMW driver lost his life at the accident scene.
The Honda driver, a woman in her 20s, sustained major injuries. Rescuers rushed her to Stanford Medical Center.
Officers said it is still unknown if DUI is a factor in this fatal crash.
We at Sweet Lawyers would like to send our sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased. May you find courage during this time of sorrow.
Losing Someone Dear in a Road Accident
It is normal for someone to feel devastated when an unexpected tragedy like this one happened. That is why it is important to know that if we lost a dear one in an accident, we may recover damages through a wrongful death suit.
A wrongful death suit allows families to hold parties liable for the irrevocable damages they have caused. It is a civil action brought forth by relatives of a deceased victim whose death was caused by another person’s negligence.
One of its benefits is that it alleviates most or all of the financial burden the death of a relative has generated.
Meanwhile, are you aware that nearly 1.25 million people die in traffic accidents every year?
That means, on average, road accidents cause 3,287 fatalities per day. With such figures, road accidents are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for people aged 1-54.
