Monterey, CA – A crash with a major injury on Highway 68 Tuesday led to the closure of eastbound lanes for several hours, according to KSBW.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the collision brought several emergency responders, including fire engines and police vehicles, to the area. Westbound traffic was also impacted, with vehicles moving slowly as crews worked at the scene.
By 2 PM, Caltrans reported that eastbound Highway 68 had reopened to traffic. No further details about the crash, including the number of people involved or the nature of the injuries, have been released at this time.
The CHP continues to investigate the cause of the collision.
Personal Injury Claims
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Liability rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. A personal injury attorney can play a crucial role in helping victims establish legal responsibility after a traffic accident.
Should evidence reveal that another party contributed to the injuries, victims may be eligible to file a personal injury claim with the responsible party’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover damages such as hospital bills and lost income during recovery.
