1. Friday September 2, 2011 – 57 Freeway near E. Bastanchury Road–
A woman driving a Mazda 3 Sedan was rear ended by a truck on the 57 Freeway just to the North of East Bastanchury Road. The accident involved her car, two SUV’s and three trucks. The rear end of the lady’s Mazda was crushed so badly that the trunk at the back of her car was in the rear seat of her car. The back of the woman’s Mazda looked like a sardine can that someone had opened with a twist opener. The lady who was drivng the Mazda had to be taken to the hospital.
2. Saturday, September 3, 2011- A Honda CBR motorcycle tried to pass a truck on the south bound Santiago Canyon Road The motorcycle moved into a bike lane which is there and hit the road curb on the right shoulder of the road. The motorcycle driver’s bike ended up going over a fence and went down a hill. The driver of the motorcycle was also taken to a local hospital.
3. Saturday, September 3, 2011 – A SUV going North on the 405 Freeway near McFadden Street rolled over on the 405 Freeway. The accident was so severe that the California Highway Patrol had to close all lanes in both directions, leaving only one car pool lane open in each direction for traffic to try to get through. The freeway needed to be closed so that the CHP could have a medical evacuation helicopter brought in to do a medical evacuation of the SUV driver to a local hospital.
We hope for the well being and safety of all those involved in these accidents. Hopefully, they were evaluated, treated and released from the hospitals they were taken to.
