Early this morning in Los Angeles County, a police officer was attempting to pull over a truck when he ended up crashing into the back of it. According to the Santa Monica Police, the motorcycle accident occurred on Pacific Coast Highway when the truck driver slammed on the brakes which led to the police officer rear-ending the truck. The police officer was transported to a hospital and the truck driver was questioned but not arrested.

Motorcycles accidents in Los Angeles can happen all too often when a motorist slams on the brakes and another motorist has to act quickly. Injuries commonly sustained due to motorcycle accidents include head trauma, broken bones, and cuts and wounds. Depending on the situation, another driver may have been acting negligently and should be held responsible for any injuries or damages that result.

Early Wednesday morning, a pregnant woman’s vehicle collided with another car, and both drivers are suspected of drunk driving. The Los Angeles County car accident injured four people in total, one of them was ejected from the car. The pregnant driver involved was taken to the hospital for severe injuries, while the other driver suffered major trauma and may be facing an amputation.

Clearly when drivers choose to drink and drive, serious injuries are always a risk. Drunk driving in Los Angeles can lead to injuries such as the above requiring amputation, as well as internal bleeding, broken bones and possibly end fatally. Whenever someone is involved in a car accident due to another driver driving under the influence, the victim should be in touch with a drunk driving attorney in order to receive compensation.
