A 40-year-old woman was killed and three others were injured in a Riverside car accident that involved three vehicles, the afternoon of August 22, 2010. According to a report in the Southwest Riverside News Network, the multi-car wreck occurred on Warren Road, between Stetson Avenue and Mustang Way, in Hemet.
A woman, who was in one of the vehicles, was trapped in her vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The male driver of the second vehicle had to be freed from his car by firefighters. That driver and his two passengers sustained injuries that required hospitalization. The occupants of the third vehicle involved in this Hemet car accident were uninjured.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of the woman killed in this crash. My thoughts and prayers are also with the three people injured in this car accident. I wish them the very best for a quick and complete recovery.
Car Accident Statistics
According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), seven people were killed and 416 were injured in Hemet car accidents. In Riverside County as a whole, 220 fatalities and 8,561 injuries were reported as a result of car accidents during the same year.
Accident Causes
It is unclear from this report what caused this fatal car accident. I trust investigators are looking into whether any one of the drivers involved was under the influence, distracted, speeding, driving recklessly or otherwise negligent at the time. It is also unclear at this time where this collision occurred. Was it a rear-end crash, head-on collision, or, did it occur when one of the drivers made an illegal turn? I trust officials are looking into these and other issues in order to determine what occurred here and why.

Injured victims as well as families of deceased victims would be well-advised to contact an experienced Riverside personal injury lawyer, who will analyze all aspects of the incident and make sure that the negligent parties are held accountable for their actions.
