Four dead in northern California car accident

Four people, including two young children, lost their lives in a car accident outside of Placerville last Saturday.

The sky had already darkened over two-lane Highway 50 when the accident occurred. Initial reports indicated that a Toyota Prius struck a Toyota Sienna after crossing the center line.

Three of the Prius’s four passengers were killed in the wreck. They were aged 39, 38, and 8 years old. The vehicle’s only survivor, a 10-year-old girl, was rushed to a hospital in critical condition. There were five passengers in the other vehicle, one of which, a 4-year-old girl, was killed. The remaining passengers survived with seemingly minor injuries. However, there is still a possibility they will discover injuries months from now in relation to this accident. San Diego car accident lawyer

This accident serves as a grisly reminder of the importance of safe driving habits. To help prevent these kinds of accidents, the California Department of Motor Vehicles offers important driving tips.
