Willits Crash Between Tanker Truck and Car 

A semi-truck containing 7,800 gallons of diesel fuel collided head-on with another car on Wednesday afternoon. 

It was reported around 1:00 p.m. on December 8th. 

The crash took place on Highway 20 according to CHP. 

No reports of injuries have been made, however, police requested ambulance to the scene. 

A tow truck was also needed to remove the semi from the scene. 

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. 

Head-on collisions are without a doubt the most dangerous types of crashes. They may only account for 2% of accidents, however they make up 10% of all deadly crashes. 

In addition, according to NHTSA, more than a quarter (25%) of accident-related deaths are linked to the use of alcohol. With that being said, according to the CDC, there are 30 people that are killed everyday in a car accident as a result of an alcohol-impaired driver. That is equivalent to one death every 50 minutes.  

If your injuries are caused by the negligence of a third party you may be entitled to compensation. In the event of a death, families may also be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
