A head-on car accident that took place on Friday morning in Malibu, near Los Angeles, is thought to be intentional according to the police. The car accident killed two people and injured another.
At approximately 12:40 a.m. on the Pacific Coast highway, the two cars crashed into one another. The first, a Saturn, is believed to have caused the accident, perhaps on purpose. Before the car accident, the Saturn was seen trying to cause an accident in a different location while making a U-turn.
In this head-on accident, the Saturn crossed over into westbound lanes while traveling eastbound at a speed over 80 mph. The wrong way driver drove towards the other car, a Ford Mustang, and hit it, causing a fire upon impact. The drivers of both cars were injured. The Mustang’s passenger suffered from leg injuries and arm injuries, and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Pacific Coast Highway remained closed until 9 a.m. that morning.

In Rosemead, a suburb in Los Angeles County, an accident involving a bus and car left a total of 10 people injured. Los Angeles authories say that the injured were first thought to be many more, around 22, but that number was lowered later.
The accident began as a car-on-car accident, with a first vehicle hitting the car that ended up striking the bus. The car pushed the other car into traffic on the opposite side of the road, where the bus was approaching. Because the bus was coming from opposing traffic, the accident was head-on, an attribute that likely contributed to the number and severity of injuries.
The bus was a tour bus, reportedly on its way to take passengers to a casino.
Three of the 10 injuries were critical. Two of them were from the bus, and the other an occupant of the car that hit the bus. All 10 injured were taken to hospitals in the Los Angeles area.
If you have been injured in a car accident or bus accident, be sure to contact a lawyer for help. There are many parts of a car accident where lawyers can offer advice, including insurance policy problems and civil injury claims. For a free consultation, contact our Los Angeles lawyers quickly.
