70-Year-Old Woman Dies in Multi-Vehicle Crash

The woman who was killed in a traffic collision Saturday has been identified as Linda Hernandez, 70.

Reports included that multiple vehicles collided around 1 a.m. on the 15 Freeway.

The crash began when an SUV crashed into the center divider, causing multiple rear-end collisions. 

Sadly, Hernandez was declared dead at the scene.

No reports have been made regarding other parties and whether or not they were injured.

The crash remains under investigation.

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Linda Hernandez.

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 also be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
