Fairfield Accident
In the early morning in Fairfield on Thursday, December 26, 2018, police reported a major car accident. According to the Fairfield Police Department (FPD), the crash involved only one vehicle and happened on a major city roadway. The fatally injured individual was identified as Amanda Villarreal, a 39-year-old Fairfield resident. The two injured individuals were passengers in Villarreal’s car, but have not been identified in reports. An investigation into the accident is currently being conducted by local authorities.
I’d like to extend my sympathy to Villarreal’s family and friends while they are grieving such a tragic loss.
Collision Information
FPD reports stated that Villarreal had been traveling northbound on North Texas Street at high speeds at about 2:30 a.m. when it suddenly swerved toward the center of the highway, colliding with the concrete median. The impact of the collision severely damaged the front end of the vehicle, which came to a rest on North Texas Street close to the intersection of Alaska Avenue.
Emergency response teams at the accident site said that they found Villareal had been ejected from the vehicle during the collision. Villareal was discovered in the roadway with severe trauma. Sadly, medics could not revive her, and she was declared deceased on-site. The two occupants of her vehicle were both found with minor physical injuries. Whether or not any of the vehicle passengers were hospitalized was not reported.
Investigation
North Texas Street in the area of Alaska Street was shut down for hours while investigators from FPD processed evidence from the crash. The roadway was eventually re-opened at about 10:00 a.m. after the wrecked vehicle and debris were cleared away so that traffic could pass safely.
FPD has stated that they do not currently know what factors caused the crash. Single-vehicle accidents are common and can be caused by many different factors. Some of the more frequent causes of single-vehicle collisions include defective vehicle parts, medical emergencies, poor roadway maintenance, and more.
