A T-bone collision occurred as the result of a stop sign violation in Fresno on Sunday afternoon. 

The accident took place around 4:00 p.m. at the intersection of Clayton and Chestnut Avenue. 

Per CHP, a GMC Yukon driven by a man in his 40s drove through a stop sign and T-boned a Chevy Silverado.

Both cars flipped upon impact, causing major injuries to both drivers. 

The female driver of the Chevy was in her late 60s and hospitalized as a result. 

In addition, the male driver was also hospitalized. 

The crash remains under investigation.

Statistics have shown that approximately 70% of motor-vehicle accidents are a result of stop sign violations. These accidents often happen at an angle rather than head on and about one-third result in some sort of injury. 

If your injuries are caused by the negligence of a third party you may be entitled to compensation.

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.
