SACRAMENTO COUNTY, California – A tragic crash that resulted in a fatality near Rancho Murieta on Tuesday evening is suspected to have involved alcohol, as reported by CBS News. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Highway 16, specifically west of Murieta South Parkway. Initial investigations revealed that a man operating an Acura RDX in the westbound direction encountered a Toyota Corolla traveling eastbound. The Acura driver crossed into the eastbound lane, leading to a collision with the Corolla. In cases of wrongful death due to reckless actions like drunk driving, seeking the guidance of a compassionate wrongful death attorney is crucial.

 

Following this impact, the Acura then struck a Toyota Tacoma that was trailing behind the Corolla. The resulting head-on collision tragically claimed the life of the Acura driver. The drivers of the other vehicles sustained minor to moderate injuries as a result of the crash. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) believes that drunk driving may have played a role in this tragic collision. The eastbound lane remained obstructed for approximately three hours as authorities responded to the scene and conducted necessary investigations.
