    Santa Clarita, CA (October 25, 2023) A 2-vehicle collision, which was said to be a possible head-on crash, occurred on Bouquet Canyon Road In Santa Clarita. According to the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred just after 5:30 a.m., south of Bouquet Reservoir, and blocked the roadway.

    The California Highway Patrol said they arrived in the area between Banquet Crossing and Banquet Falls to find a 2-vehicle collision. A pickup truck and a sedan were both damaged from the collision and were blocking all lanes of traffic.

    Paramedics arrived at the scene to give aid to anyone injured, but reports of injuries have yet to be given. Tow trucks were called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicles from the roadway and crews cleaned the area of debris and glass from the collision.

    Investigators are working the scene to determine fault and cause in this early moring Santa Clarita collision.

    Liability In Santa Clarita Car Accidents

    Despite improved safety measures for cars, motor vehicle accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in the United States.  According to the CDC, “more than 32,000 people are killed and 2 million are injured each year from motor vehicle crashes.” There are a number of factors that could potentially contribute to a car accident including:

    • Speeding
    • Distracted driving
    • Inclement weather
    • Dangerous turns
    • Poorly designed roadways

    All drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid causing accidents. This is especially true for commercial drivers that work for a city. A number of collisions are due to drivers that make dangerous left turns. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code 21801, the driver of any vehicle intending to turn left must yield the right of way traveling from the opposite direction close enough to pose a hazard.

    If a negligent driver worked for a city, that city could potentially be liable in the event of an accident. Generally speaking, employers are vicariously liable for the negligent actions of their employees – insofar as those employees were working within the course and scope of their job duties. There are a number of steps that should be taken after a car accident.

    • Photos of the accident site should be taken.
    • Surveillance footage should be sought.
    • Medical records should be preserved.
    • Eye witnesses should be interviewed.
    • A thorough independent investigation should be conducted.

    The family of any victim that has died in a car accident may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills and funeral expenses. It is essential that evidence is properly preserved after a car accident. A car accident attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
