Solano County, CA — A man lost his life in a single-vehicle crash Wednesday morning, September 25, 2024, after his car collided with a wall at a rural intersection in Solano County, according to ABC10.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported the incident occurred at the junction of Abernathy Road and Mankas Corner Road. At approximately 9:30 AM, emergency responders were alerted to the crash, where they found the vehicle had driven through the T-intersection and struck a wall.
The driver, who was the sole occupant of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not yet released the man’s identity pending notification of the family.
CHP officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances leading up to the crash, including whether speed or other factors played a role. At this point, it is unclear if drugs or alcohol were involved.
Liability in Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. A personal injury attorney plays a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Once liability is determined, the attorney can negotiate with insurance companies, who often try to reduce payouts. That means having legal representation can be vital to ensure victims receive fair compensation for their loss.
