ORANGE COUNTY -- The Orange County Register reported Anaheim witnesses seeing a female driver traveling west on Ball Road "at a high rate of speed" when suddenly she crossed the center divider into oncoming traffic. The result led to her Lincoln automobile slamming head-on with a Mazda before overturning. The man driving the Mazda was airlifted to Western Medical Center with significant injuries. His wife suffered a broken arm and their two children received mild injuries. Anaheim Police Sgt. Bob Dunn reported the driver of the Lincoln, whose name is yet to be released, died at the scene of the accident.
Anaheim police stated a third moving vehicle and two parked cars were also involved in the Friday night collision. However, no injures were reported from these vehicles. On Saturday, Dunn announced the man airlifted to the hospital is expected to survive from his injuries.
Cause of the West Ball Road Head-On Collision
Authorities are still investigating the accident occurring on August 5th. And based on the limited information provided by MSNBC and the Orange County Register, it remains unclear as to why the driver of the Lincoln veered into oncoming traffic. However, it is evident the driver and passengers of the Mazda could not prevent and avoid this dreadful collision.
Car Accident Personal Injury Liability
While this accident remains under investigation, if authorities do come to a conclusion that the driver of the Lincoln is at fault, injured victims or their families would be well-advised to seek an experienced Anaheim car accident lawyer. A skilled and knowledgeable Orange County personal injury attorney can review the accident, and help the victims understand and protect their legal rights to recover the maximum compensation they are entitled to for medical care expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages relating to this devastating head-on collision.
