A devastating chain-reaction crash involving nearly 60 vehicles shut down Highway 99 in Tulare County after dense fog reduced visibility and triggered one of the region’s worst pileups in years.
Authorities say multiple vehicles — including big rigs — became tangled in the wreckage, leaving several people hospitalized.
The crash occurred during extremely low-visibility conditions that made it difficult for drivers to see brake lights ahead, a common hazard on Central Valley freeways during heavy fog events.
Why Multi-Vehicle Crashes Are Legally Complex
Pileups often involve multiple insurance carriers and disputed liability. Even drivers who believe they were not at fault can face aggressive attempts by insurers to shift blame.
Victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment
- Hospital stays and rehabilitation
- Lost income
- Long-term disability
- Pain and suffering
Catastrophic crashes frequently require deep investigation, accident reconstruction, and strategic negotiation — areas where an experienced personal injury law firm becomes critical.
