Three Die in Santa Margarita California Car Crash
November 19, 2007
California Highway Patrol investigators blocked off Highway 58 east of Santa Margarita, California after a deadly car crash killed at least three people on Thursday night. The accident occurred just after 8 pm just west of Pozo Road and involved a Ford Escort and a silver mini van. Initial witness accounts are sketchy but police say the Ford Escort was definitely over the speed limit. It now seems that the driver lost control of the car (as is fairly common when speed limits are exceeded), and veered off to the side of the road. He attempted to correct the vehicle and in his attempts ended up over correcting with the result that that the Escort spun around into traffic, and was broadsided by the mini van. According to California Highway Patrol officials, the three passengers in the Ford Escort, all males died. The driver of the silver mini van, an unidentified Santa Margarita resident was admitted to the Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center with severe injuries. The highway was littered with glass and the devastation at the scene of the crash helped confirm suspicions that the Ford Escort was speeding at the time of the accident. A person who drives his car at speeds above acceptable levels puts his life and the lives of those sharing the road with him in danger.

San Diego Police Hunt for Hit and Run Driver
November 12, 2007
San Diego police are on the lookout for an SUV driver who was involved in a hit and run accident resulting in the wrongful death of a 46 year-old man.
The accident took place on November 9th, and sounds like something out of an action movie. At about 4:30 am, the victim, Larry Irving was fighting with another man driving a black Toyota 4Runner. Irving standing on the running-board of the 4Runner and the two men seemed to be engaged in some kind of brawl when the driver of the SUV suddenly slammed on the brakes. Irving was thrown in front of the car. The SUV driver, reportedly a young Latino man then accelerated his car and ran over the injured man on the street. He barely looked at the man on the ground before speeding away. Irving was admitted to hospital with severe head injuries, where he died the next day.
Now San Diego police have launched a search for the young driver of the SUV. The police say he was of slender build, had a thin moustache, and was wearing a baseball cap and a polo shirt. Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack!
Nobody knows what the two men were fighting about and there don't seem to have been any witnesses to the accident. The San Diego Police Department has asked any witnesses to come forward with their testimony.
Road rage seems to have been a factor in this accident. In recent weeks, the state has seen a slew of road rage and aggressive driving related accidents, most of them claiming innocent victims or bystanders. Even where road rage is concerned, this particular case seems especially horrific.
If you've been the victim of an accident where the other person was clearly displaying aggressive behavior, know that you have rights. Call the California wrongful death attorneys at The Reeves Law Group for a free consultation.
