Lancaster, CA (December 20, 2024) – A tragic three-vehicle crash in Lancaster on Friday evening claimed the life of 15-year-old Tramir Peyton, a Long Beach resident.
Accident Details: The incident occurred at 20th Street East and Avenue K around 5:30 p.m. According to authorities, a Dodge Charger entered the eastbound lanes of Avenue K and collided with a Lexus ES350 traveling east in the left lane. The force of the impact pushed the Lexus into the westbound lanes, where a westbound Nissan Rogue struck it.
Peyton, a passenger in the Lexus, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remains under investigation. Officials are urging anyone with information to contact the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
Consideraciones legales: Como abogado de lesiones personales, considero que varios aspectos de este caso merecen un examen más detenido.
- Were any drivers speeding, distracted, impaired, or violating other traffic laws?
- Was there a defect in the road that contributed to the accident?
- Did any of the vehicles suffer from a mechanical defect?
Wrongful Death Claim: The family of Tramir Peyton may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim if negligence is determined to be the cause of the crash. Compensation could address funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Tramir Peyton during this incredibly difficult time.
