Wofford Heights, CA – KBAK reports that on Saturday night, November 30, 2024, one person died following a solo-vehicle crash in Wofford Heights.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported the fatal accident occurred around 7:37 PM on Sierra Vista Drive, north of Heim Lane.
According to CHP, a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling northbound on Sierra Vista Drive when the driver attempted to navigate a curve in the road. Due to a possibly unsafe turning movement, the vehicle left the roadway and overturned down a dirt embankment.
The driver of the Chevrolet, whose identity has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe the driver was traveling at an undetermined speed at the time of the crash.
CHP officers closed Sierra Vista Drive for about an hour to investigate the crash. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be factors in the incident.
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.
