ALTADENA, California (June 14, 2013) – The driver of a big rig truck slammed into the back of a Lexis Friday morning on the northbound Interstate 5 freeway near the Alameda Avenue off ramp, according to a California Highway Patrol dispatch report.

About 5:10 a.m., CHP officers reported that a 50,000-pound semi-tractor trailer truck had crashed into the back of a Lexis sedan and a pickup truck near a construction area. The big rig had major front end damage and leaked roughly 10 gallons of oil onto the freeway. The Lexis had rear-end damage.

The collision was blocking the Nos. 3 and 4 lanes of the 405 and police issued a SigAlert for roughly two hours. Paramedics were called to the scene of the crash, but the report did not indicate how many people were injured, nor the extent of those injuries.

The California Highway Patrol is investigating the crash to determine liability for the accident.

CANYON COUNTRY, California (June 12, 2013) – Dunia G. Abrego, 46, of Canyon Country was killed and her passenger injured Tuesday afternoon in a fiery crash between her catering truck and the driver of a Ryder rental truck on Highway 126 at Commerce Center Drive in Castaic, according to a report in The Signal.

Abrego was attempting to merger her 1989 catering truck onto Highway 126 as she exited Valencia Travel Village. Police say she pulled in front of a 2010 Azusa box truck driven by Loren Montgomery, 52, of Oregon who was traveling about 55 mph. The box truck, a Ryder rental, was struck on by the catering truck on its front passenger side. The impact caused the catering truck to overturn onto its side into the shoulder of the roadway.

Abrego was ejected upon impact and died at the scene. Her passenger, Juana Martinez was injured and taken by paramedics to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital. Police say that Abrego was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

“There are no words that can lift the burden of grief and sorrow this woman’s family and friends are experiencing right now,” Attorney West Seegmiller said.  “The thoughts and prayers of our staff are with them at this time.”
