Five people were injured, one critically, in a Los Angeles car accident that involved two vehicles. According to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News, the injury car accident occurred in the 6000 block of De Soto Avenue in Woodland Hills near the 101 Freeway, the morning of January 9, 2011. Los Angeles city firefighters extricated one person from a vehicle. That individual is believed to be in critical condition. Four others were hospitalized with injuries, but are expected to survive. An investigation is ongoing.

My heart goes out to all five injured victims of this car accident. I wish them all the very best for a quick and complete recovery. The critically injured victim, especially, will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Possible Car Accident Causes

Based on this news report, it is not quite clear how or why this injury car accident occurred. There are several unanswered questions here. Did one of the vehicles fail to yield right-of-way? Was this the result of a rear-end accident? Did alcohol, drugs, driver distraction, speed or any other form of negligence play a part in this car accident? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine what occurred here and why. This is a post from BestAttorney.com – BISNAR CHASE California Personal Injury Lawyers
