An SUV rear-ended a big-rig Sunday morning on the 210 Freeway causing a serious auto accident in Los Angeles. The California Highway Patrol reports that the truck was pulled off and parked on the side of the road when the SUV hit it and then became engulfed in flames. While two of the SUV passengers were able to survive the crash, three of them were trapped in the car and killed. The driver of the big-rig was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, and the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

This Los Angeles car accident is one of the more tragic ones where many lives are lost in an accident that could have been prevented. Other than fatalities in car accidents, injuries may include chest pains, head trauma, broken bones and much more. Drivers are often negligent, whether speeding or not paying attention to other drivers, and they should be held responsible for injuries and damages caused to others.
