1 Person in Dowey Dies from Collision

A multi-vehicle collision left one person dead in the early hours of Wednesday, September 29th. 

The crash occurred in Downey around 12:31 a.m. on the Santa Ana 5 Freeway at Paramount Boulevard. 

It is unclear what led up to the crash. Authorities are actively seeking answers as to what caused the fatal collision. 

One unidentified person was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The description of vehicles, number of those involved, as well as other injuries has also not been made known. 

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.
