Multi-Vehicle Accident Results in Fatality in Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (July 10th, 2021) – On the evening of July 10th, 2021, officers from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Station were dispatched to a multi-vehicle traffic accident near the intersection of Baseline Road and Milliken Avenue.

According to authorities, the accident involved a total of five vehicles, with the suspect’s vehicle colliding with three other cars. The victim’s motor vehicle was propelled into the intersection and it was here where it was struck by a vehicle headed eastbound. The vehicle being operated by the suspect was overturned and it came to a final rest on the intersection.

The suspect has been identified as Moises Reina who was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Both the passenger and driver of the victim’s vehicle were rushed to the hospital in serious conditions. The passenger has been identified as Mia Johnson by authorities. Unfortunately, she sustained fatal injuries in the accident and was declared deceased at the hospital. The driver in this vehicle remains in critical condition.

According to a News Release, deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team responded to the scene to conduct an investigation of the collision. While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, the suspect, Moises Reina, was apprehended and booked at a local detention center.

As of July 13th, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against Reina, including one count of DUI Causing Bodily Harm, one count of Second Degree Murder, and one count of Gross Vehicle Manslaughter while Intoxicated.

No other information about this case is readily available. Anyone with any information is being asked to contact the Rancho Cucamonga Police Station. Callers can remain anonymous by using the department’s Tip Hotline or leave the information on the We-Tip website.

Southern California’s roads are among the busiest in the nation, and sadly, this also makes them some of the most dangerous. In a split second, even the most careful drivers can get involved in a multi-vehicle accident that results in serious injuries. Aside from the serious injuries, the collision can lead to extensive property damage, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, and long-term financial insecurity. Fortunately, most accident victims can obtain financial compensation for their grievances by pursuing legal action against the at-fault party.

When multiple vehicles are involved in the accident, figuring out what party is at fault for causing the accident can be a real challenge. With a thorough case investigation, however, it may be possible to determine who was at fault and if multiple parties share liability for the accident.

The State of California observes the theory of comparative fault in most accident cases, including car accidents. For the most part, this means that every party involved in the accident can be held responsible for his or her contribution in causing the accident. Even the injured person filing the claim can bear responsibility for the accident. If the court finds the victim partially responsible for the accident, the damages awarded to the victim will be reduced by the percentage he or she was found responsible for.

The same theory applies in cases where the victim lost his or her life in the accident. When the victim’s family files a wrongful death claim against the responsible party, the court may reduce a fraction of the damages awarded if the victim was found to be partially at fault for the accident.

Whether or not injured people share responsibility in causing an accident, filing a claim can provide much needed compensation to cover expenses stemming from the accident, such as the loss of income, disability, and trauma. By obtaining efficient legal counsel, injured victims can ensure their case is stronger; therefore, ensuring the highest amount of compensation is secured.

If you or a loved one was seriously hurt in a multi-vehicle accident, building a strong injury claim against the at-fault party can be difficult. Discuss your case with a knowledgeable attorney who will take immediate action in preserving critical evidence to present an effective and robust personal injury claim.

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.

I want to thank Justin and his amazing office. They made a very traumatic/ nightmare of a situation into a more bearable situation every step of the way. 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.
