| Child driver causes fatal car accident. |
| Posted By Los Angeles Car Accident Attorney |
 |
On Wednesday, January 13, 2010, an eleven year old boy was driving his mother’s car at her request. While driving, he ran a stop sign and was broadsided by another vehicle, killing him, his mother and his younger sister. This car accident took place at a rural intersection outside Porterville, which is about 70 miles southeast of Fresno. This 6th grader was driving home from his soccer game when he failed to obey the stop sign. The mother, Maria Covarrubias, 30, and sister, Elizabeth Silva Covarrubias, 6, both were ejected from the back seat where it is believed neither were wearing seatbelts. A family friend, Froylon Gonzalez who was wearing his seatbelt in the passenger seat of this car involved in the
auto accident, was also in the vehicle and stated he had never seen Jose drive. He was sent to a local Fresno hospital with life- threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, Charles Seguin, 44, of Porterville, sustained minor injuries.
California Highway Patrol Officer Stefanie Buck said investigators have not yet been able to interview the car's lone survivor to determine why Jose Manuel Silva Covarrubias was driving his mother’s car. Officials stated it did not appear that drugs, alcohol or winter fog was a significant factor in this accident. The superintendent of Woodville Union School District, Dondreia Bradley, stated she was "stunned" to hear that Jose had been driving his mother’s car. The car accident is still under investigation.

| Posted By Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer |
 |
At 4:30 a.m. Thurday morning a Glendale driver became trapped beneath the trailer of a semi truck. The driver of the car was travelling east on the 134 Freeway just east of Brand Boulevard. After all vehicles involved in the accident stopped, his car was trapped beneath under the trailer of the truck. Those who saw this truck accident believed it was a fatal car accident, but surprisinly both drivers walked away from the scene unharmed. When police arrived at the scene of the Los Angeles accident, the driver of the car was walking around, and he was taken to the hospital out of precaution.
The cause of this crash is still under investigation by the California Highway Patrol. When authorities interviewed the car's driver, he claimed he was cut off by a sport utility vehicle (SUV) which caused him to over compensate resulting in his car entering the path of the truck. The car was eventually removed from underneath the truck, and the freeway was cleared by 5:00 a.m.
