Los Angeles Accident Between Tour Bus and Car Injures Many

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.

Big Rig Strikes Young Los Angeles Brothers

A Los Angeles County truck yard this past weekend was the site of a tragic big rig accident that took two young lives, ages 4 and 15. 15-year-old Joel Flores and his younger brother, 4-year-old Alexander, were riding along a moving truck in Wilmington when they fell off, according to police reports. Reportedly, the two boys were playing in the truck’s rear, seemingly in the cargo area.

After falling, both boys ended in the path of their father’s truck, a big rig tractor trailer. Unaware of the fall, the father advanced the truck towards them, unknowingly striking them.  The older brother, Joel, was pronounced dead at the scene of the truck accident. Young Alexander was transported to hospital in Los Angeles, but unfortunately died later that night from injuries sustained in the accident.

The tragic accident was not intentional and the father is not thought to be at fault. The site of the accident, a Wilmington truck washing facility, is located on a grounds off East Lomita Boulevard past Wilmington Avenue.
