Oakview Resident Airlifted in Ventura Motorcycle Crash

Ventura, CA (May 7, 2024) – A 23-year-old motorcyclist from Oakview was injured following a Highway 1 hit-and-run crash Monday afternoon.

Responding crews arrived at 4:33 p.m. to the traffic accident near Emma Wood State Beach.

Officers said a sedan crashed into the motorcycle and fled the scene.

Immediately, the medical team airlifted the motorcyclist to Ventura County Medical Center in critical condition. The rider incurred fractures to his right arm and legs as well as a brain hemorrhage.

Troopers are investigating this collision and asked those who may have seen the sedan to contact the Ventura area CHP at 805-662-2640.

Cell phone use while driving poses a significant risk of death and injury on U.S. roads. 3,308 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes caused by distracted drivers in 2022.

Distracted driving is anything that takes your attention from driving. It includes talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment, or navigation system. It is anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

In many jurisdictions, distracted driving is not only dangerous but also illegal. Laws have been implemented to penalize drivers who engage in activities such as using a cell phone while driving. These penalties can include fines, points on the driver’s license, and even license suspension in some cases. It is important to be aware of and abide by these laws to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.

It is impossible to drive safely unless you give your full attention to the task at hand. Any non-driving activity you do is a potential distraction and increases your risk of collision.


What Can Be Done Following the Highway 1 Hit-and-Run Crash?

Personal injury occurs when a person suffers a physical, emotional, or psychological injury. The term “personal injury” covers a wide range of cases that arise, from car accidents, assaults, slip and fall accidents, and injuries from defective products or machinery.

When the involved individual/ suspect fails to meet their duty of care, unexpected and unnecessary personal injuries can occur.

Damages from a personal injury lawsuit range from emotional trauma, physical and mental disability, pain and suffering, disfigurement, bodily injuries, and financial losses.
