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.Purchase Zyloprim

Deadly Bus Rollover Crash near Williams

Posted under: Rollover Accidents — tslaughter @ 8:57 am

At about 6:10 last evening, a horrific bus rollover crash occurred just east of Williams. A charter bus bound for the Colusa Casino Resort drifted or veered onto the shoulder of Lone Tree Road off of I-5, then overcorrected and began to roll. Passengers were ejected during the rollover which crushed the bus’s roof. Ten passengers have been confirmed dead this morning. As many as 35 others have been taken to Enloe Hospital, U.C. Davis Medical Center and other hospitals with serious to critical injuries.

An immediate explanation for the crash has not been apparent. It issuspected that the driver was under the influence of prescription or non-prescription medications, but the results from any drug testing conducted after the crash have not yet been released. Local television stations reported this morning that the driver, also seriously injured in the crash, has been placed under arrest.

The bus appears to have originated from Sacramento. Thought initially to have been a Greyhound Bus, it appears that it was owned by a local charter company. The name of the charter company has not been released. It was reported that the Texas license plates on the bus were invalid. The relationship of the charter to the casino is not yet known.

This was a terrible, terrible accident and our sorrow and condolensces go out to the families of those injured or killed. If you believe that a family member or friend was on the bus, we suggest that you contact the Williams District Office of the California Highway Patrol at 530.473.2821.

Jury Awards $3.5 Million in Rollover Death involving Blazer

Posted under: Rollover Accidents — rreiner @ 1:37 pm

It has been reported that a federal jury in Georgia found General Motors liable this week in a rollover accident that killed a 14 year-old boy, and awarded his surviving parents $3.5 million in damages.  The rollover accident involved a 1995 Chevy Blazer. 

 In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that the 1995 Chevy Blazer had a known propensity to rollover due to  its track being too narrow for its height and center of gravity.  The vehicle had been re-engineered that very year, but it was asserted that the changes did nothing to enhance the SUV’s stability.

The rollover accident occurred on Interstate 985 in Gainesville, Ga., when a drunk driver lost control and spun into the Chevy Blazer.  The Blazer then began to spin and at some point rolled  several times, ejecting the 14 year-old boy.  The Blazer never left the roadway.  The mother watched her boy die with her own eyes. 

 GM purportedly never made an offer of settlement before the trial.  Now, GM’s attorneys have stated their intent to request the court to reduce the damages.

Suit Alleges Defective Tire-Valve Stem Caused Rollover Accident

Posted under: Rollover Accidents — rreiner @ 3:52 pm

A recent lawsuit brought in Florida asserts that a defective tire-valve stem caused a rollover crash that killed the driver. The driver’s widow sued Dill Air Control Products claiming that its so-called “snap-in” valve stem unexpectedly failed causing the right rear tire of her husband’s SUV to deflate, leading to a loss of control and rollover. The valve stems, model Dill TR413, were manufactured by Topseal, a Chinese subsidiary of Shanghai Baolong Dill Air Control Products, LLC.

Following this fatality, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into what is believed to be 30 million Chinese made valve stems that have been distributed in the United States. Dill Air Control issued a technical bulletin to major tire retailers indicating that they had been receiving complaints about surface cracks on the rubber air stems. “High speeds and an unsupportive rim profile allow the rubber valve to flex at a greater angle and may cause these cracks to propagate, leading to a slow leak of air,” the bulletin said.

It was reported by the Detroit News on June 12, 2008 that 6 million of these Chinese-made tire valve stems had been recalled by Tech International, an Ohio-based distributor. Remarkably, in a letter to NHTSA, Tech International stated that it had no way of identifying the end user of the TR413 valves it distributed. Assurances were made that the Chinese Manufacturer conducted tests and found no defective valve stems after November of 2006.

With the heavy summer driving season approaching, drivers are advised by these manufacturers to inspect valves stems for cracks, particularly if experiencing any loss of air pressure. Dill’s field bulleting suggests to retailers that, “Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending that when customers return to your stores for regular service, you inspect the valve stems on vehicles who received valve stems during the period September 2006 to June 2007.”

Given the vast number of potentially defective valve stems that have been distributed throughout the United States, the Redding rollover attorneys of Reiner, Simpson & Slaughter are closely monitoring this impending recall. If you have any questions about the safety of your tires or valve stems, you are urged to return to your retailer to have the professionals perform an inspection.
