Woodcrest, CA (December 21, 2024) – A tragic accident in the unincorporated Woodcrest area near Riverside claimed the life of 15-year-old Kael Helm on Saturday afternoon, December 21, 2024.
Accident Details: The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to a collision between a dirt bike and a dune buggy on a dirt road near Blackburn Road and Vista Del Lago Drive at approximately 3:09 p.m. Helm, a Riverside resident, was critically injured and transported to Riverside Community Hospital, where he later passed away. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no additional details have been released.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination, including speeding, visibility, road conditions, traffic violations, and mechanical malfunctions.
If negligence is determined to have caused the crash, Kael Helm’s family may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim to recover damages for their immense loss. Compensation could address funeral and burial costs and emotional suffering.
I offer my condolences to Kael Helm’s family and friends during this challenging time.
