The crash occurred around 12:30 AM in front of several shops at the intersection of Fremont Boulevard and Thornton Avenue, approximately a mile from I-880, near American High School. Almost immediately after striking the tree, the car became engulfed in flames.

The exact circumstances leading to the crash are still under investigation.
Liability in Solo-Vehicle Collisions
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a solo-vehicle collision might fall upon other drivers in the vicinity of the accident or even unsafe roadway structures. Working through the particulars of liability to help victims and their families find proper compensation is one of the many services a personal injury attorney can provide.
Once liability has been established, a personal injury attorney can also negotiate on behalf of the victim with insurance companies, who will always seek to minimize the payout for any claim they cannot deny.
