Pedestrian Hospitalized in Accident on Marci Way [Santa Clarita, CA]

Santa Clarita, CA (February 14, 2022) – On Sunday, a pedestrian sustained injuries in an accident on Marci Way.

Officers received the accident report at around 10 p.m.

Responding officers freed the victim from being stuck underneath the vehicle. Then, the paramedics rushed the victim to a nearby hospital.

Moreover, reports said the vehicle also struck a nearby building. 

However, the damage to the building was not significant enough for officials to do an investigation on the building’s structural integrity.

Avoid distractions. Did you know that distracted driving includes more than using your phone? Your eyes should be on the road at all times. Anything that takes your eyes off the road like eating, getting something from your bag, interacting with passengers, applying makeup, shaving, etc are all types of distracted driving.

Injuries in Traffic Accidents

Even though state laws prohibit cell phone use when driving, upwards of 80% of car accidents are a result of distracted drivers.

Therefore, it is important to know how to proceed in case you find yourself involved in a traffic collision like the rollover crash on US395.

Here are the things that we need to do if in case of an accident:

• Before anything else, seek medical attention if you sustained injuries from the accident.
• Get to a safe place to prevent further damage or injury.
• Collect as much information as possible: insurance and contact information of people involved in the accident and pictures/videos of vehicles involved. Also, do not forget documentation of fault, and whatever that can be used as evidence.
• File a police report or incident report by calling 911.
• Hire an experienced personal injury attorney from Sweet Lawyers.
