Deadly Motorcycle Accident in Paradise
One woman sadly passed away after being injured during a motorcycle accident in Paradise on Sunday, August 9, 2020. The Paradise Police Department (PPD) reported that the accident happened in the very early morning and only involved one vehicle. The decedent has since been identified by local authorities as a 22-year-old woman and resident of Chico. An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
Crash Information
PPD indicated that this incident happened at around 2:15 a.m. near the intersection of Firland Drive and Skyway in northern Paradise. Police have not yet provided details about the specific circumstances of the accident.
After PPD was notified about the accident via phone call, a team of emergency officials was rushed to the scene. When responders found the wrecked vehicle, they discovered that the driver had sustained severe injuries. Paramedics reportedly performed life-saving procedures at the accident scene before placing the woman on an ambulance and transporting her to a local hospital. Tragically, she could not recover from her injuries and passed away while in hospital care.
Investigation
As their investigation continues, PPD has not yet reported any factors they believe could have played a role in this terrible accident. Police put out a statement asking for help from the public with their investigation. Anybody that has relevant information about the incident is asked to get in touch with PPD’s traffic division at (530) 872-6241.
Investigating collisions like this one can be a very difficult task for police. Because officers can’t ask any of the people involved in the accident about what happened, it is possible that critical evidence will never be uncovered. In many cases, this means that families will be unable to hold at-fault parties responsible for damages.
To ensure that fatal accidents are investigated to the fullest possible extent, it is important to call a skilled, experienced Paradise wrongful death lawyer. Your attorney will be able to commit their resources and time to investigating the accident and determining if any negligence was involved.
