Two Injured in American Canyon Auto Accident
On Tuesday, February 16, 2021, two people suffered injuries as the result of an American Canyon auto accident. The American Canyon Police Department (ACPD) reports that the incident happened in the morning and involved multiple vehicles. Neither of the injured parties sustained life-threatening trauma, according to medical officials. Additionally, this car accident is under an active ACPD investigation.
Crash Details
The incident reportedly happened around 20 minutes prior to dawn on the southbound side of Highway 29 at the intersection of Eucalyptus Drive. According to ACPD, a car was stopped at the intersection’s red light, waiting to proceed south on 29 when they were rear-ended by a minivan.
After the crash occurred, ACPD immediately sent personnel to respond. When they arrived, officers and other responders found that both of the drivers involved in the accident had been injured. Whether or not the individuals were hospitalized was not reported.
Investigation
As ACPD continues with their collision investigation, officers have stated that the accident may have involved a sleeping driver. At this time, no other suspected factors have been reported. Often, a car accident is caused by a number of factors, many of which can be things outside of drivers’ hands. For instance, drivers may not be reasonably able to avoid a crash if their vehicle isn’t functioning properly or if the roadway has dangerous faults. In situations like these, third parties like car part companies or governments might share responsibility for the collision.
Car Accident Injuries Can Develop Over Time
Even if your injuries don’t seem serious at the accident scene, you may still have suffered a major injury. After a car crash, people are usually filled with the adrenaline hormone, which blocks out pain and makes it difficult for people to gauge the severity of their injuries. In many cases, people walk away from car accidents feeling fine only to end up in the hospital some hours later.
In other cases, car accident injuries can take a long time to fully develop, possibly over a period of months. This is especially common with injuries that affect the nervous system, like brain injuries or spinal cord damage. If left untreated, these injuries may lead to complications or secondary injuries. For these reasons, you should always get checked out by a medical professional as soon as you can if you were involved in a crash.
Calling an Attorney
A car accident can cause a number of serious financial issues. From lost income and medical bills to totaled vehicles and other damages, accident survivors can be left in a tight spot. Because of this, it’s very important to reach out to an attorney who can give you advice about recovering compensation through a personal injury claim.
