Two Injured in Rollover Crash on Highway 23
Firefighters had to extricate two people trapped in a vehicle after a highway rollover crash Friday morning in Thousands Oaks, the California Highway Patrol reported. A 49-year-old Thousand Oaks man driving south on Highway 23 (Moorpark Freeway) lost control of his vehicle at the Janss Road off ramp when he reportedly swerved to avoid another southbound car that entered his lane. The vehicle went off the highway and down an embankment just before 6 a.m. Both the driver and passenger were extricated about 20 minutes after the crash.
The driver of the vehicle that overturned suffered a broken leg, and his passenger suffered unknown injuries. Both were taken to Los Robles Hospital. Although the two vehicles did not physically contact each other, the driver of the other vehicle, a 40-year-old Moorpark man, saw the vehicle crash and returned to the scene of the accident. The CHP is investigating the incident.
We hope everyone injured in this Moorpark Freeway accident makes a full and speedy recovery. If the news reports of this Highway 23 accident are correct, this Ventura County rollover crash is likely caused at least in part by an unsafe lane change. While this rollover accident remains under investigation, the man injured in this accident and his passenger would be well-advised to consult with a Los Angeles auto accident attorney about their legal rights to compensation.
