On January 2, a semi truck collided with a black pickup truck. The crash occurred just south of the Long Beach Boulevard overpass on the northbound 710 freeway. Local news outlets reported that the collision caused the semi-truck to overturn. The semi truck was carrying a container that smashed into the pickup truck’s hood and windshield, trapping two individuals inside.
Firefighters arrived and were eventually able to free both individuals from the pickup truck. Local news reports state that the two individuals have non-life-threatening injuries.
How an attorney can help
It is not immediately clear how the collision occurred, but a skillful and diligent legal team can preserve the rights of anyone injured in cases like this. For example, Nguyen Lawyers has tools to review pre-crash data and determine the speed of the vehicles involved and whether any driver applied brakes or attempted to avoid the crash. This information helps establish which party was at fault.
When injured in a crash such as this, parties should contact an attorney sooner rather than later. Crash data may be deleted in the course of repairing vehicles, and witnesses may become harder to find as time passes. When parties contact an attorney, it increases the likelihood that this critical information will be preserved.
