    Five people were left with critical injuries after a chain reaction created a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 101 around 6 p.m. Wednesday evening. The aftermath of the incident left the entire northbound side of the highway shut down for nearly 90 minutes.

    The victims were driving a burgundy vehicle that suffered multiple impacts. At least one victim had to be airlifted from the scene of the accident.

    The multi-vehicle collision started with a crash in the southbound lanes around 6 p.m. The accident caught the attention of northbound drivers leading to a rear-end collision on the opposite side of the highway. Additional collisions followed, including that of the victims, as drivers tried to quickly react to the suddenly stopped cars.

    The California Highway Patrol did not give any further updates on the victims’ conditions as of Thursday.

    Liability In Healdsburg 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.
