A Sacramento school bus, along with two other vehicles, was involved in an injury accident involving a pedestrian on January 30. The crash happened on Fruitridge Road between 88th Street and Florin Perkins Road around 7:37 a.m. Although one student was on board the school bus when the accident happened, they were uninjured in the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

A Traffic Collision Investigation
The evidence supporting the client’s claim must be collected when a pedestrian is involved in a crash. Accidents are often caused by drivers who refuse to admit they are responsible. However, our investigative team is experienced in gathering proof that another driver is at fault. The investigators look for evidence in a variety of areas, including:
- An investigator begins by going to the crash scene to collect evidence, such as smears of paint, marks on the road, and pieces of metal that have fallen. Additionally, they photograph the damaged vehicles and the site to determine where the damage was done.
- They examine it to determine whether any errors were made in the police report. This is because errors can adversely affect a client’s compensation claim.
- Interviews are conducted with witnesses. Witnesses often record accidents on their cell phones as they happen or shortly afterward.
- The accident reconstruction indicates how the multiple-vehicle crash occurred and how the vehicles positioned themselves before, during, and after the incident.
- We check the area’s traffic cameras to see any pictures of the accident, which can help negotiate with insurance companies.
