Yolo County, CA – A driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash south of Davis on the morning of Thursday, December 26, 2024, according to CBS13.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident occurred just after 10:30 AM on County Road 152 near Levee Road. CHP says they received reports of the crash and responded to the scene shortly after.
First responders discovered a Lexus that had gone out of control and crashed into a fence before overturning. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.
Authorities have not yet released the driver’s name, and no additional details about the circumstances of the crash or the vehicle have been provided.
Investigators are working to determine whether drugs or alcohol contributed to the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.
Single-Vehicle Collisions and Comparative Negligence
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility.
California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages. A personal injury attorney can play a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
