Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. – As a car accident attorney, I’m always concerned when I hear reports of collisions, especially those that result in debris scattered across the roadway. This afternoon, there was a two-vehicle accident in Rancho Santa Fe that has me thinking about the importance of road safety.
According to the CHP Traffic Incident Page, the accident occurred around 11:41 AM today at the intersection of La Granada and Avenida de Acacias. A black Volvo and a silver or gold Lexus collided, leaving debris across the roadway.
Emergency responders dispatched a tow truck to the scene for the Lexus SUV. Unfortunately, the incident report doesn’t provide details about the cause of the accident or the extent of any injuries.

Car Accident Attorney Explains Intersection Accidents
Intersections are common sites for car accidents. Drivers may misjudge distances, fail to yield the right-of-way, or run red lights, leading to dangerous collisions. Here are some common causes of intersection accidents:
- Distracted driving: Drivers may be talking on the phone, texting, or eating, taking their attention away from the road.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol or drug use significantly impairs a driver’s judgment and reaction time.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to stop or maneuver safely.
- Failure to yield: Drivers may not yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic or pedestrians.
- Running red lights: Disregarding traffic signals can lead to serious broadside collisions.
If another driver’s negligence injured you in an intersection accident, you may claim compensation.
