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.

Two solo car accidents in the Long Beach area occurred on the same day and resulted in fatalities. The first accident happened at 2 a.m. early Friday morning near Davies Bridge over Appian Way. It involved 27-year-old Humberto Sanchez of Downey. The Man had been driving eastbound on 2^nd street when his gray 2001 Lincoln veered off the bridge, broke through the guardrails and dropped 50 feet to the street below. Sanchez was instantly killed by the force of the impact.

2 hours later, at around 4 a.m. police responded to another traffic accident at West Pacific Coast Highway near Caspian Avenue in West Long Beach. This time, the victim was a 23-year-old male victim who had been traveling west on the PCH. He was driving a green 1995 Ford Mustang when he veered right and struck a street pole. The young man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are still investigating both incidents.
