North Hollywood Crash shuts down Los Angeles Freeway 7 Injured.
Seven people were injured in North Hollywood when a car slammed into a police vehicle on the 170 freeway. This prompted the California Highway Patrol to shut down a popular Los Angeles freeway. The Los Angeles Daily News reported in “Southbound 170 Freeway Temporarily Closed by Crash” that a Chevy Impalla struck a CHP patrol officer that was assisting a stranded motorist.
In a past entry “Los Angeles Women Killed in Traffic Accident on PCH demonstrates dangers” I discussed the dangers that happen when you become stranded on the freeway. This recent collision in North Hollywood demonstrates these dangers. We all hope that those people reported injured have a speedy recovery.
As far as responsibility. A detailed investigation will have to be conducted to determine all potential responsible parties. Certainly the driver of the impala that was reported to have been caused the initial crash. Other pertinent information would have to include why the stranded vehicle was stopped on the freeway to begin with and how other vehicles became involved in this accident.
Thorough investigation into all parts of accident is important to assure a full and fair recovery to victims of this case. This investigation must include the existence of any uninsured motorist coverage, not only on the drivers, but also on any passengers injured in this collision.
