Speeding Causes Head on Collision in Fountain Valley

ANorman — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:33:09 +0000

An Huntington Beach resident sustained serious injury Wednesday afternoon after a head on collision in Fountain Valley. Authorities speculate that the 62-year-old man was speeding prior to veering into opposing traffic and slamming into a pick-up truck. Prior to the accident, Baron L. Mahrling was driving eastbound in his gold 1996 Chevrolet Silverado in Ellis Avenue at approximately 1:45 p.m. For unknown reasons, he accelerated and charged into opposing traffic west of Bushard Street. Mahrling then struck a black 1998 Nissan Frontier truck causing minor injury to 31-year-old Todd B. Gruca. The Silverado continued on across the street, jumped a curb and slammed into a power pole and brick wall. The man was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

Although Mahrling was no stranger to traffic accidents (he plead guilty to a DUI in September of this year), there are many cases where a car malfunctions through no fault of the driver. When this happens, the car manufacturer can be held legally accountable for subsequent injury and financial damages.
