CHP reported that the 18-year-old right front passenger of the Jeep died at the scene. The Jeep contained five occupants from Woodland: a 37-year-old driver and four children, ages 18, 16, 13, and 6. The driver and the 13-year-old sustained minor injuries, the 16-year-old had major injuries, and the 6-year-old suffered moderate injuries. 

All surviving occupants were transported to Barton Memorial in South Lake Tahoe. The 32-year-old Lathrop man driving the Ford was not injured. Authorities are withholding the deceased victim’s name pending notification of next of kin.

CHP said the cause of the collision and the sequence of events remain under investigation.

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.

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.
