Kern County, CA (February 1, 2025) – A rollover crash early Saturday morning claimed the life of Alexander Guzman, 27, of Buttonwillow.
Accident Details: According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the crash occurred around 5:38 a.m. as Guzman drove a 2005 Infiniti sedan southbound on Buttonwillow Drive near Sullivan Road. The vehicle veered off the road, collided with a dirt embankment, and overturned. Guzman was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have stated that alcohol or drugs may have been a factor in the crash.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination. Investigators will examine driver behavior, vehicle condition, the presence of road defects, and improper signage.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Guzman’s family may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This claim could seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering. California law allows families to pursue these damages if another party’s negligence is found to have contributed to the fatal accident.
I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Alexander Guzman during this difficult time.
