9-Car Pile up in La Mesa

A Thursday morning traffic collision took place in La Mesa on Thursday morning, September 23rd. 

The collision involving 9 vehicles left one person injured. It reportedly took place around 7:30 a.m. on the westbound side of the Interstate 8 Freeway near Lake Murray Boulevard. 

According to CHP, three or four vehicles collided which ultimately caused a pileup crash involving 9 vehicles in total. 

Due to the impact, one of the vehicles overturned on its side. 

Additionally, one person sustained injuries which have yet to be specified. Names and the number of those involved has also not been disclosed. 

The accident remains under investigation to determine liability. 

Multi-vehicle collisions are typically more common in busy intersections or highways. Speeding, weather, distractions, and drowsy or intoxicated driving are main reasons negligent drivers cause these types of wrecks. 

When it comes to filing a claim with this type of collision, it gets difficult. This is because multiple vehicles are involved so determining liability can take much longer. Multi-vehicle collision claims are more complex due to numerous victims, multiple negligent drivers, cross-claims and insufficient insurance.
