When two horses became trapped in Palmdale, local firefighters were forced to use power tools to break open their trailer. This incident occurred yesterday, around 65 miles from downtown Los Angeles, where two vehicles had just collided in Antelope Valley. According to Los Angeles County fire dispatcher, the crash was reported at a site located west from Little Rock Wash of Palmdale. The accident injured one person.

Also affected by the accident were the horses, who became trapped in a trailer connected to one of the vehicles. Firefighters sedated the two horses in order to properly free them from the wreck. The horses were revived without a problem and were doing fine after the accident.

Motorist Taken to Hospital after Glass Falls into her Eyes

A driver was taken to the hospital early Wednesday morning after glass fell into her eyes.  The incident occurred  while the woman was driving northbound on I-5 just South of Camino Capistrino.  Authorities are still uncertain as to what actually happened, but they believe something fell out of a truck or moving vehicles and injured the female motorist.  The woman, who had been driving a gray BMW sedan,  was taken to San Clemente Hospital for evaluation.  Officers on the scene indicate that the injuries were minor and vowed to get to the bottom of what transpired.

When an accident of this nature occurs,  it can be especially frightening to the victim, who may not initially  know who or what caused their injury.  Another terrifying aspect of this particular personal injury is that  damage to the eyes may seem minor but have a degenerative effect over time–in other words, one could even lose their eyesight.   Should the latter scenario occur, it would be imperative for the woman to locate the responsible party so she could be compensated via a personal injury lawsuit.

Even when the circumstances appear to be something of a blur, a legal professional can help you assess  your  personal injury case and get to the bottom a debilitating accident.  At Slaughter and Slaughter we help countless accident victims  ascertain  how they can obtain financial compensation for their injuries.  Call us today for a free consultation and learn t what you can do when someone else causes you grave, physical harm.
