Serious Glendale Car Accident
Glendale was the scene of a fatal accident last week. Every day, roads are very busy due to overwhelming volume of road vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycle and bikes. This is also the very reason that there are so many accidents. In 2009, 33,808 fatalities from car accidents were recorded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The severity of the impact greatly damages properties and millions of innocent lives.
At around 9 pm, last Wednesday evening, a multiple car collision left two people injured and one in critical condition.
A landscaping truck with a trailer was travelling at the intersection of 47th and Olive Avenue when the driver lost control when trying to avoid a pedestrian. With the sudden stop, another silver car, with two women and a young boy, slammed into the truck. Another vehicle then smashed into the silver car.
The impact from the sudden stop of the truck lead its two occupants to be thrown outside the truck. The occupants of the silver car, the driver and the young boy, were immediately taken to the hospital because of the injuries they sustained from the collision. The driver’s injuries were not life threatening but the young boy is in critical condition according to a Glendale police officer.
The alarming census of increasing car crashes leads the authorities to implement the usage of safety equipment like seatbelts strictly. Accordingly, proper use of seatbelts can reduce fatal injuries in about 50 percent of cases. Our sympathies go out to all involved in this serious car accident.
