ANorman — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:33:29 +0000

An early morning Costa Mesa car accident resulted in a collision between a gold Toyota Corolla and a freeway on-ramp meter light. The crash, which occurred at the Southbound 405 freeway near Harbor Boulevard, left the vehicle stuck on the utility pole with exposed wire hanging out of it. The CHP called an official out to the scene to turn off electricity to the meter so the car could be removed. It was around 5 a.m. when the male motorist, who was driving too fast for early morning rainy weather, slid on the road and hit the light. The Corolla driver suffered minor injuries sustained when the airbag deployed.

Although the injuries were minor, the situation could have been much worse, especially if the air bag a failed to function. Interestingly enough, air bags may not operate as intended a huge portion of the time. This can lead to preventable death and injury.

Apple Valley Woman ID’d after Fatal Head-on Collision

ANorman — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:26:07 +0000

The woman who was killed on U.S. Highway 395 Monday evening has been identified as 26-year-old Jessica Blass. Blass was traveling southbound on 395 in a white Toyota Yaris at around 8 p.m. when she crossed the center divider and crashed head-on into a Dodge Dakota pick up truck. The Dodge driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries but the motorist’s condition and identity are not known. Jessica Blass was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation as to the cause of the crash is ongoing.

There are many reasons why Jessica Blass could have suddenly crossed the center divider and rammed into another vehicle. She could have blacked out, grew ill or even fallen asleep. Another explanation could be that the car malfunctioned due to a defective auto part and the frantic Jessica could no longer control her own vehicle. It is safe not to assume the reason behind any car accident until the facts come in. If an investigating finds that a faulty auto part is the culprit, Blass surviving family members could sue under product liability laws.

Although the fire itself created most of the devastating destruction, great bit of it was also caused by the water that was used to douse the blaze. A preliminary inspection of the damage to the multistory building was originally estimated at only $30, 000 dollars worth or repairs. Subsequent checks of the structure indicated that the cost associated with repair were much higher at a little over $220,000 when water damage to the fourth and lower level floors were factored in.

No injuries were reported although it took nearly 60 firefighters to put out the blaze. The fire was reported at 12:40 at 24055 Paseo del Lago West Wednesday evening. Officials say that a microwave could have caused the fire although the incident is still under investigation.
