Riverside, CA (September 12, 2024) – On the night of September 12, 2024, a tragic collision on the 91 Freeway near Buchanan Street in Riverside claimed the life of 25-year-old Justin Winans from Chino.
Accident Details: The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident occurred around 11:50 p.m. and involved several vehicles, including a U-Haul truck. The exact causes of the crash remain unclear, and the CHP is actively investigating the circumstances leading to the collision.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that the investigation will likely focus on several key areas to determine liability:
- Driver Behavior: Examining the actions of all drivers involved, including any potential signs of reckless driving, impairment, traffic law violations, or distraction.
- Vehicle Conditions: Assessing the condition of the vehicles, including the U-Haul truck, to identify any mechanical failures or maintenance issues that may have contributed to the crash.
- Road Conditions: Investigating whether road conditions or signage played a role in the collision.
If negligence is found to be a contributing factor in this collision, the family of Justin Winans may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. They may be able to recover compensation for their loss, such as funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress.
I offer my deepest condolences to Justin Winans’ family and friends during this difficult time. I hope the investigation provides clarity and closure.
