Crash Injures Grass Valley Woman
I’m Ed Smith, a Grass Valley-Nevada City car accident lawyer. A woman from Grass Valley was flown by air rescue to a Roseville hospital after suffering head trauma in a two-car crash on May 27, 2016.
What Happened?
A Chevrolet truck being driven by 26-year-old, Shayna McDonald, was headed westbound on Wolf Road near Brian Lane. At about 3:30 p.m., 70-year-old Donald Frazer, was proceeding eastbound in a Dodge pickup truck.
McDonald reportedly was travelling at a high rate of speed and drifted over the center yellow lines just as the other vehicle approached. Her truck clipped the left front tire and wheel of his Dodge.
After hitting the Dodge, McDonald’s truck crashed into a dirt embankment and overturned, according to the California Highway Patrol report.
McDonald was transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center by helicopter. She reportedly suffered head trauma. No other information as to her condition was available.
Frazer suffered scratches and bruising to his left bicep. He declined medical treatment at the scene of the crash.
Was Alcohol or Drugs a Factor in the Crash?
Although the crash remains under investigation, it appears that alcohol and drugs did not play a role in the crash.
Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents are very serious. Sometimes, manufactures fail to make simple improvements to their vehicles that could cut fatalities nearly in half. These improvements are relatively inexpensive for the manufacturer to make.
One of the first steps in determining defects in this type of case is to keep the salvage vehicle as evidence and contact an experienced attorney right away.
