Three-Vehicle DUI Collision on Highway 76 

A DUI collision involving three vehicles occurred on Thursday evening in Oceanside. 

The incident occurred around 10:42 p.m. on Highway 76 near Rice Canyon Road. 

According to reports, three vehicles collided under unclear circumstances. 

Due to the impact, one person sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. 

Intoxication is expected to be a factor, however the crash remains under investigation. 

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.  

When it comes to filing a claim with a multi-vehicle 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. 

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Brian Feliciano. 

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. 

It is also important to remember that in the state of California a person involved in a car accident who has sustained injuries has to file a claim within two years of the accident.
