Five Hospitalized after Chain Reaction Crash on Interstate 805 in San Diego
An accident early Thursday morning on Interstate 805 in San Diego triggered a number of collisions on the freeway, sending five people to the hospital. According to the California Highway Patrol, the collisions occurred on the southbound side of the freeway, just before 2 a.m., north of Market Street. Following the crash, two people were taken to UCSD Medical Center, two others were taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, and a fifth person was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital.
Further information about the cause of the crash and the extent of the victims' injuries was not immediately available. It is not known if alcohol was a factor in any of the collisions. We hope everyone injured in this accident fully recovers, and that their injuries are not too severe.
Multiple vehicle collisions can be complex insurance claims. More than one party may be responsible for a crash, and victims may have to communicate their situation to multiple insurance companies, and still may not receive the compensation they're entitled to. The victims hurt in this accident would be well advised to consult with a San Diego car accident lawyer about their legal rights following this accident. An experienced attorney can help them understand what types of compensation they may be entitled to, and who is responsible for their injuries.
