    Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2023) A crash involving an ambulance occurred after midnight on Sunday, September 10, 2023, in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson, Brian Humphrey, said a pickup crashed into the ambulance around 12:35 a.m.

    The Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedic Rescue Ambulance was responding to a medical emergency when it was broadsided by a pickup. The accident occurred at the intersection of San Fernando Road and Van Nuys Boulevard. After hitting the ambulance, the pickup then crashed into a utility pole.

    There were two men in the pickup and both became trapped following the collision. They were freed by a team of Los Angeles Fire Department responders and taken to a regional trauma center. Both men were in critical condition.

    The two paramedics who were in the ambulance at the time of the collision suffered minor to moderate injuries. They were able to free themselves from the wreckage of the collision and were taken to a local hospital to receive treatment for non-serious injuries.

    Liability In Los Angeles 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.
