Ventura Califonia: State 126 still death alley and a deadly dangerous road
This deadly road strikes again. This time two California Sheriffs deputies and two Santa Paula residence were its victims suffering from serious critical injuries.
California State Route 126 located in Ventura county just North of Los Angeles has to be one of California's most dangerous roads. On April 17, 2010 a sheriff patrol slammed into a vehicle attempting to turn left onto highway 126. The accident was reported and commented upon in the Ventura County Star. We are glad to learn that those injured are recovering.
This car accident occurred between the towns of Fillmore and Santa Paula in Ventura County. This stretch of highway has been known for decades as "blood alley", because of the high incidents of deadly crashes. In 2005 The Halpern Law Firm brought a case against the State of California alleging that Highway 126 was a dangerous condition of public property. After lengthy litigation the state agreed and paid 3 million dollars to our client. Later it was reported that cross median barriers would be installed. Obviously they were not and the highway remains deadly and dangerous.
The people of Santa Paula, Fillmore, Oxnard, Ventura, Simi Valley, Santa Clarita and surrounding counties must stand up and demand that the Highway be made safe. Only by holding those responsible for making the highway safe, will the commuters be protected. If you or a loved one has suffered a loss as result of a dangerous highway or car accident, contact The Halpern Law Firm we will be able to discuss with you all of your rights.
