Multi-car crash on California Fyw. 405 results in one fatality

A three car accident on Freeway 405, just north of Santa Monica Boulevard resulted in the death of one woman.

The accident occurred around 8 pm Tuesday evening and backed up traffic for miles. A red Volvo, a silver sedan and a SUV were involved in the crash. The SUV had its hood crunched in and was pushed several yards away from the accident scene.

When California Highway patrol arrived six minutes after receiving the, call they found one woman dead in her vehicle. The woman was described as a 56 year old black woman but her identity had not been released pending notification of the family.

No other injuries were reported but all vehicles involved sustained serious damage.

California Highway Patrol is currently investigating to determine the cause of the accident.

Once police determine who caused an accident the victims or the family of deceased individuals may wish to seek compensation by retaining an accident attorney. The experience of an accident lawyer makes them crucial for anyone injured in an accident.

Damages and injuries can become costly to the victims and their families. They shouldn’t have to pay for another person’s mistake out of their wallets. When they hire an accident lawyer they can rest knowing that they have someone fighting for them, who will make certain they receive maximum compensation for their pain and suffering.
