Multi-Vehicle Accident on the 60 Freeway Results in Death of a Man

Ontario, CA (October 6th, 2021) – On the late evening of Monday, October 4th, a man lost his life in a multi-vehicle accident that happened on the 60 Freeway in Ontario.

An official statement provided by the California Highway Patrol states that the accident happened just before 11:30 p.m. on October 4th. The collision transpired on the eastbound lanes of the freeway, near Archibald Ave.

The deceased victim has only been identified by authorities as a 26-year-old male driver, resident from San Bernardino. The victim was driving a Chevy Camaro when the accident involving at least three other motor vehicles happened.

The multi-vehicle accident resulted in significant injuries for the deceased victim. When first responders arrived at the scene of the accident, they transported the victim to a local hospital. The 26-year-old man was pronounced dead at 12:27 a.m.

The identity of the deceased remains unknown at this time as authorities have not released further information about this accident. The cause of the multi-vehicle collision remains under investigation.

Multi-vehicle accidents are usually defined by collisions that involve multiple vehicles. Oftentimes, these types of accidents are referred to as pile up accidents, especially when they involve more than three vehicles.

Multi-vehicle collisions happen frequently on highways, freeways, or other roads where many vehicles travel alongside one another at a high rate of speed. The high speeds usually involved when driving in these roads can make it very difficult for drivers to stop safely when approaching an accident. Consequently, multi-vehicle accidents can happen because drivers cannot stop on time.

Aside from high speeds, many multi-vehicle accidents can happen as a result of road conditions, such as low visibility, lack of lighting, fog, snow, rain, and even deteriorated roads. When road conditions are dangerous, motorists are expected to reduce their speed and remain careful and alert. Sadly, many motorists fail to adjust their driving or they fail to recognize the dangers and this can cause serious multi-vehicle accidents.

Determining fault in a multi-vehicle accident is understandably difficult. These accidents usually involve more than three parties, which means that they could potentially involve more than three at-fault parties. These cases are notoriously complex and it can even be difficult for insurance companies to establish liability. As a result, these accidents will usually end up in court to determine who caused the accident.

The State of California observes the pure comparative negligence law, meaning, every party involved in the accident may face responsibility for the accident, even when injured. Depending on the percentage found at fault, the plaintiff’s damages award will be reduced.

Unlike other states, injured victims may be able to recover compensation for their injuries even when found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident.

Multi-vehicle accidents can be life-changing experiences. Even when a victim survives the collision, the consequences can cause complete upheaval in his or her life. A few of the most common injuries sustained by those involved in multi-vehicle accidents include, but are not limited to whiplash, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal bleeding, and head trauma.

Depending on the extent of injuries, those who are fortunate to survive a multi-vehicle accident will usually face mounting medical expenses, a loss of employment, and other economic hardships. For this reason, it is important to seek compensatory damages that can help for these expenses.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

I was involved in my first big automobile accident last year, in Yorba Linda. I was a bit overwhelmed as you can imagine. Friends suggested that I hire an attorney to handle my case and I was not quite sure how to proceed. I was very fortunate when I was referred to Justin King’s office.I met with Mr. King and found him to be very personable and he listened to my concerns. I felt very comfortable and confident that he would help me in getting a fair outcome to my case.I want to also thank Garrett Tuckerman for all he did in keeping me updated with everything going on with my case and for being there whenever I had any questions or concerns. I also want to mention Leoni Barrera who was always pleasant and supportive when I called.I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King for your personal injury needs. I feel that Mr. King and his whole staff, with their knowledge, expertise and professionalism will help make your experience a less stressful one.

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.

They kept us updated and we were reassured that we were in good hands. I want to also express my gratitude to Garrett for being so empathic and supportive through the ups and downs that comes with a case. We are so blessed to have had them handle our case. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional and dependable office. Thank you again Justin King Office!!!

I went from feeling like a basket case from all the stress to feeling calm and collected after talking to Justin. He is a phenomenal personal injury lawyer and is a truly calming and reassuring presence. This firm helped me in ways I can't even adequately put into words, other than to say Thank You, Justin, to you and your awesome team.

After an auto accident, I felt really nervous calling an attorney because I had never worked with one before. But from the first conversation I had with Jessica, I felt so at ease. Justin then called me and was so easy going and we had a nice conversation too. The entire staff took great care of me and I am very happy.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault two years ago. A friend of mine had a family member who had been helped in the past by Justin King, and they suggested I call him. I'm so glad I did! Justin and his team took great care of my situation and got a great settlement for me. I highly recommend them if you have been in an accident. You will be very happy with what this firm. They are smart, hard-working, honest, and take great care of their clients.

When I needed a lawyer following a car accident on the Interstate 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, Justin King, and his team were there for me. I appreciated how his entire staff always seemed happy to answer my questions and were so good about returning all my phone calls and emails. I could tell this firm has immense experience in helping people get their life back after an unfortunate car crash. I was so happy with the outcome of my case and the results Justin obtained from the insurance company on my behalf. I have recommended their office to all my family members and neighbors. I hope you never need to call them. But if you need the best car accident lawyers, I can vouch that they are excellent.
