BALDWIN PARK, California (May 22, 2013) – One person was killed and another critically injured Wednesday morning in a traffic accident between a semi-tractor trailer truck and a white Dependable Vending van on the eastbound California State Route 60 freeway at the southbound State Route 71 freeway connector, according to a dispatch report issued by the California Highway Patrol.

About 9 a.m., CHP officers and Los Angeles County Fire Department emergency workers were called to the scene of the truck accident and found a tractor trailer truck on the right side of the roadway and a white van on its wheels with the contents scattered all over the roadway, the report said.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Coroner was called to the crash site. A second person was air-lifted by a Life Flight helicopter to a nearby trauma center for treatment of critical injuries, the report said.

The manager of Upland-based Dependable Vending Co. arrived at the scene of the crash about 11:22 a.m. and couldn’t get through traffic so he left his vehicle and walked to the scene of the traffic accident, the report said.

“We are advocates for victims of traffic accidents who need representation to help them recoup losses due to injuries sustained in a crash,” said Attorney West Seegmiller. “Those who are injured or killed while working as an employee of a company may have a claim against both the driver who caused the crash as well as their own company’s insurance coverage.”

NEWHALL, California (May 21, 2013) – At least one person suffered major injuries after a semi-tractor trailer truck ran over a passenger vehicle early Tuesday morning on the southbound Highway 14 freeway just south of Sand Canyon Road, according to a dispatch report issued by the California Highway Patrol.

About 4:10 a.m., CHP officials reported a big rig transporting 39,000 pounds of meat was lying on its side in the No. 3 lane and someone was lying in the roadway after a “big rig ran over a vehicle.” At least one person was taken by air ambulance to a nearby hospital for major injuries sustained in the truck accident, the report said. A SigAlert was issued about 4:30 a.m. and two lanes were closed down for the investigation.

“There was debris all over the roadway,” the CHP report said.
