The fatal crash occurred on October 21st at Hitchcock Road in Monterey County, per reports. 

According to the CHP, a Nissan Altima collided with a Nissan Pathfinder SUV as the result of trying to pass a Camaro.

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.
