Valley Center, CA – Three Killed in Fatal Head-On Collision on Valley Center Road

Valley Center, CA (February 13, 2019) A fatal head-on collision occurred on the morning of February 12th on Valley Center Road between North Lake Wohlford Road and Paradise Creek Lane, a few miles south of Harrah’s Resort and Casino. According to the reports, a Ford F-150 pickup truck driving southbound suddenly veered into the path of a northbound-moving tow truck and the two crashed head-on at around 6:15 a.m., causing extreme damages.

When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they found two of the pickup truck’s occupants dead as a result of the crash. One of the occupants left the scene and was later uninjured found at a relative’s house. The driver of the tow truck, whose identity has not been made public, was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido for treatment of superficial injuries.

Crews shut down both directions of Valley Center Road as they cleared and investigated the scene to determine the cause of the accident.

We are deeply sorry to hear that two people lost their lives in this dangerous accident. Our thoughts are with their families as they grieve the loss of their loved ones. We also hope for the speedy recovery of the other victims injured during the accident.

Head-On Collisions in California

The leading cause of most head-on collisions is drunk or distracted driving. When drivers are impaired, their vision blurs, making them unable to accurately see which direction they’re driving in. When drivers are distracted, there’s a possibility they may end up driving in a lane they shouldn’t be driving in. Other causes of these detrimental accidents include mechanical errors and poorly lit roads.

Whatever their cause, whenever head-on accidents occur, fatalities are likely to result since the force of impact is twice as intense as other kinds of motor vehicle accidents.

At Brady Law Group, we understand that whenever a head-on collision occurs, at least one of the drivers was in the wrong lane and, therefore, responsible unless proven otherwise. We help families gain justice by obtaining winning verdicts to help cover the financial burdens of losing their loved ones.
