One person was killed, and another was injured after a multi-vehicle crash in Napa County on Wednesday night, July 17, 2024.
According to the responding officials, the traffic incident happened shortly after 11:13 p.m. on the Airport Boulevard intersection, west on Highway 12.
Authorities stated that a 2019 Volkswagen Golf, driven by Cesar M., was traveling on Highway 29 toward Vallejo. Meanwhile, a 66-year-old man from Sparta was driving a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 with an RV trailer at about 75 mph, approaching the Airport Boulevard intersection.
For unknown reasons, the Dodge continued through the intersection without stopping at a red light. As a result, it crashed into the Volkswagen, causing the vehicle to veer southwest and hit a pole. Cesar M. was pronounced dead at around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
After the initial collision, the Dodge continued west into the eastbound lanes of Airport Boulevard, crashing into a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500. The driver of the third vehicle, described as a Napa man, suffered neck and chest injuries and was transported to the Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center for treatment.
The factors leading up to the crash remain unclear. It is unknown whether drugs, alcohol, or speeding played a role.
No further information was released. Investigations are ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
