Montebello, CA (August 11, 2024) – A tragic accident on the Pomona (60) Freeway resulted in the death of Claudia Barrera-Rocha, 47, and serious injury to another individual.
Accident Details: The crash occurred on the eastbound Pomona Freeway, just west of the Garfield Avenue off-ramp, and was reported to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) at 8:27 p.m. on Sunday. According to witness reports, the collision involved a car and a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was found in the middle lanes. Despite efforts from first responders, Claudia Barrera-Rocha was pronounced dead at the scene. Another person involved in the accident sustained major injuries and was transported to a hospital.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several key areas should be examined to determine liability. Understanding how the car and motorcycle collided is crucial. It is necessary to investigate their speed, maneuvers, and potential contributing factors like road conditions or visibility issues. The behavior of both drivers before the collision is also important, including any signs of impairment, distraction, or reckless driving. Lastly, investigators should evaluate the state of the road and any traffic control measures or signage at the accident scene.
Depending on the investigation’s outcome, Barrera-Rocha’s family may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the negligent party. The injured individual may be able to file a personal injury claim.
I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Claudia Barrera-Rocha during this difficult time. I wish the injured individual a fast recovery.
