A recent crash in Visalia is another reminder of how dangerous impaired driving can be on neighborhood streets across California’s Central Valley.
What Happened
According to reports, a collision occurred at the intersection of Murray Avenue and Hall Street involving a pickup truck and a sedan. Emergency crews responded and at least one person was transported for medical care. Authorities reportedly detained one driver on suspicion of DUI, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Why Intersection Crashes Are So Dangerous
Even at moderate speeds, intersection crashes can cause severe injuries because:
- Drivers often strike the side of another vehicle
- Impact angles increase the risk of head injuries
- Pedestrians and cyclists may also be nearby
- Reaction time is limited in residential areas
These types of crashes often lead to claims handled by a car accident lawyer, pedestrian accident lawyer, or insurance settlement lawyer, depending on the injuries involved.
How NRC Law Helps Victims
At Nelson, Rozier & Christenson, attorneys Ryan Nelson and Clayton Christenson help injured Central Valley residents recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term treatment needs
If alcohol or reckless driving played a role, liability may be clearer — which can strengthen an injury claim.
