EUREKA, Calif. – On January 16, 2009 a 48-year-old Fortuna woman was killed when the 1992 Chevy Suburban she was riding in rolled over on U.S. Highway 101 just south of Eureka. According to the Times-Standard, the driver of the Suburban was attempting a lane change and was checking her blindspot when the vehicle drifted onto the median. When the driver attempted to steer back onto the highway, the Suburban flipped and rolled several times. The passenger was ejected to her death from the backseat. The driver and another passenger suffered injuries and were treated at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The investigation of this rollover is still pending.

Mis-starting Van Lurches Forward Fatally Pinning Man Against Wall

Posted under: Automobile Accidents, Wrongful Death — tslaughter @ 12:01 pm

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. – The Crescent City Police investigated a tragic accident on December 27, 2008 when a man was pinned between his own van and the wall of the Walgreens store. According to the Triplicate, the man had been having difficulty starting his van when he went to the front of the vehicle to work on it. His son was positioned behind the wheel and his wife was in the passenger seat when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward and slammed him against the wall. Whether the vehicle’s behavior was attributed to a mechanical defect in the vehicle should be investigated. The local authorities have not offered an explanation of the cause as of this date.

Our condolences go out to this tragically striken family.
