Multiple vehicles were involved in a deadly traffic accident on Saturday morning, September 24th.

The crash resulted in the unfortunate death of Daniel Franco, 59, of Lake Forest. 

It was around 4 a.m. when the accident occurred on the 5 Freeway in Irvine.

Two vehicles and a semi-truck collided under unclear circumstances, resulting in the truck overturning and catching fire.

Two other people were also injured and hospitalized in an unknown condition. 

Further details will be provided once an investigation is concluded.

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Daniel Franco.

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.

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 be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
