San Diego Area Car Accident Ends Fatally

RichmondJ — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:39:38 +0000

A car accident in Jamul has reportedly killed at least one, authorities have reported. The car accident took place around 1:00 in the morning on Friday, on the north side of the city.

The crash involved either two or three vehicles, according to conflicting reports. The vehicles were driving on Skyline Truck Trail when they crashed into one another, near the intersection with Hidden Trail Drive. As of yet, none of the drivers have been determined to be at fault.

The true cause of the accident, perhaps, was a coyote that ventured onto the road. One of the drivers claims to have swerved from his lane to avoid hitting a coyote, causing the car behind him to forcefully apply his brakes and hit a third car.

The driver who slammed his brakes was ejected from his vehicle, but died before paramedics arrived at the scene. It is unknown if other injuries were involved in the Jamul car accident.

If you have been injured or killed in a car accident, it can be imperative that you seek professional help from a car accident lawyer. Without a lawyer, receiving the compensation you deserve can be extremely difficult. Call our San Diego car accident lawyers near Jamul for a free consultation at 858.909.9090.

Man Dies, Slip and Fall In San Diego Charger’s Stadium

RichmondJ — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:48:21 +0000

An unusual and extremely unfortunate accident took place this past Monday when, before the start of the game, a man was seriously injured at the San Diego Charger’s stadium. Unfortunately, although the man was alive immediately after the accident, he was reported as dead later on.

The man, a worker/volunteer for the San Diego Chargers identified as Walt Daniels, dropped 25 feet in a fall from a press box into the stands. In trying to setup a phone cable in the announcer’s booth, he fell backwards out of the press box, for reasons still unknown. Landing head first, Daniels suffered significant head trauma at the scene of the accident, yet remained with a pulse and was taken to Sharps Memorial promptly, where he died later.

A volunteer loved and appreciated inside and outside the stadium, Daniels is likely to be missed greatly in San Diego after this accident.
