Los Angeles, California – A two-vehicle, head-on collision at the interchange between the Long Beach (710) Freeway and the Pomona (60) Freeway left one person trapped early Thursday morning, authorities said.
California Highway Patrol officers responded around 1:47 a.m. to the northbound 710 Freeway transition to the eastbound 60, where a black Jeep Wrangler and a blue Honda SUV collided in the middle lanes, according to CHP Officer Sergio Garcia.
Los Angeles County Fire Department crews extricated one victim who was trapped inside the Honda. Paramedics transported the individual to a nearby hospital. The patient’s condition was not immediately available.
Debris from the crash was scattered across the roadway, and video from the scene was captured by KeyNews.TV photographer Josiah Valenzuela.
Can You Recover Compensation After a Single-Vehicle Car Accident?
Yes. Even when no other driver is involved, compensation may still be available for injuries from a single-vehicle crash. Drivers and passengers may file claims when the crash was caused by factors such as defective vehicle parts, unsafe road conditions, negligent road maintenance, or when another motorist forced the driver to swerve and leave the scene. A reputable car accident law firm can investigate these circumstances, identify liable parties, and pursue financial recovery.
Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. Passengers injured in a solo-vehicle collision can also make claims through the driver’s insurance, and in some cases, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage applies. Consulting experienced legal counsel—such as head-on collision attorneys who handle complex accident investigations—is critical for determining whether compensation is available.
