Lancaster, California – A woman was killed early Thursday morning after her car collided with a big rig at the intersection of 30th Street West and Avenue G in Lancaster, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The crash was reported around 6:45 a.m., and firefighters arrived to find a white Volkswagen Passat severely damaged with the driver trapped inside. Video footage from the scene showed the car nearly destroyed, while the big rig sustained only minor rear-trailer damage.
A witness told reporters that the impact caused the big rig to drag the smaller vehicle sideways for several feet. The woman behind the wheel of the Passat was pronounced dead at the scene. The big rig driver was unharmed.
Emergency crews cleared the intersection shortly after 7:15 a.m. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the cause of the collision.
How to Claim Compensation After a Fatal Big Rig Accident in California
Fatal big rig accidents are among the most devastating events on California roads. When a truck collision leads to the death of a loved one, families have the legal right to pursue financial justice through a wrongful death claim. This process allows eligible family members to recover compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
Under California law, spouses, children, and in some cases parents can file a wrongful death lawsuit when negligence, reckless driving, or unsafe truck operations cause a fatal crash. Working with an experienced big rig accident attorney is crucial to ensure that all liable parties—such as the trucking company, driver, or maintenance provider—are held accountable.
A skilled wrongful death attorney in California will guide you through the complex legal steps, from collecting evidence and accident reports to negotiating with insurance companies and filing within the statute of limitations.
