Almost any accident on a California roadway may hold the potential for causing injuries. But when an accident involves a vehicle rollover, the likelihood of serious or even fatal injuries is greatly increased. Sometimes, those who are in rollovers may be rendered incapable of describing how their accidents occurred.
As we have written on this blog, there are many factors that could contribute to a rollover accident. If a car or truck rolls over and there is no one is able to describe what happened, a thorough crash investigation may be the only way to discover the cause.
Recently, in Apple Valley, a deceased individual was discovered inside an overturned pickup truck. According to California Highway Patrol officials, the truck, which was located near an intersection, was found by a person who was going to work.
The driver was the sole occupant in the pickup truck. CHP officials state that the accident occurred at some point Sunday night or perhaps Monday morning. It was reported that the Victorville CHP office was carrying out an investigation.
If the deceased had a family, then they deserve to know how this tragedy occurred. And while the police are conducting their investigation, it could prove beneficial to have the matter looked into by a third party.
When an accident such as the one described in this post occurs, a California personal injury attorney may be able to employ investigative techniques that lead to the discovery of the cause of the rollover. The attorney could also help a family as they pursue compensation for the loss of their loved one.
