A pedestrian accident in San Diego recently resulted to serious injuries after an intoxicated pedestrian reportedly stepped right into the path of oncoming traffic.
Reports indicate that the pedestrian was suspected to be under the influence of alcohol when he emerged between two parked vehicles and got directly into the path of a Jaguar driven by an unidentified man near Euclid Avenue recently.
The pedestrian remains to be in critical condition after sustaining head injuries in the accident that occurred in Federal boulevard.
Drinking while on the road has proven to be fatal to pedestrians and motorists who are not able to exercise their good judgment in situations that confront them because of the negative effects of alcohol in their system.
Comprehensive car insurance coverage will shoulder all repair costs or it may replace the policyholder’s vehicle and properties inside it if they were lost or damaged due to different factors like flood, fires, and tornados, among others.
This insurance coverage may be useful for the owner of a vehicle that was lifted into a tree in Ventura County.
The National Weather Service (NWS) stated that the damage left in the area was brought by a tornado. NWS also said that the tornado “was the smallest category class.”
Aside from lifting the car, the tornado also hurled a fence into a pool, downed power lines, and caused some shingles to be ripped off the rooftops.
Vehicle owners should anticipate the danger they may face and the accidents they may be involved in when availing car accident insurance coverage. By doing this, they will be provided with financial help if an accident happens or if their vehicle was destroyed by natural or other forces.

An 18-minute chase ended up in a vehicle collision after a man hit another car at a Koreatown intersection recently.
Authorities say that the chase begun when the man allegedly pulled out a gun on police officers who were riding on an unmarked vehicle.
No one was reported with serious injuries though the speeding vehicle ran red lights and drove on the sidewalks which could have easily resulted to a pedestrian accident wherein he will also be accountable for.
Officials say he may be booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon against a police officer.
Aside from this charge, he should face other traffic-related charges for endangering the lives of pedestrians and other motorists in the area by being a negligent driver.
Only persons aged 16-years-old and above are permitted by law to operate a vehicle. An age requirement was imposed because younger persons are presumed as incapable of driving properly and responsibly and they may endanger the lives of many in the event of an accident.
True enough, an 11-year-old driver caused an accident in Tulare County that ended the lives of three people, including his own, and injured another.
According to authorities, Jose Silva was driving a 1993 Honda eastbound on Avenue 168 and ran a stop sign along Road 152. The Honda, which was carrying four occupants, all from Woodville, was then hit broadside by a 1999 Ford headed southbound.
The Ford driver who was identified as Charles Seguin, 44, from Porterville, sustained minor injuries and received treatment at the accident area. Meanwhile, Froylon Gonzales, 34, one of the Honda’s passengers, sustained life-threatening injuries and was brought to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
Jose, his 6-year-old sister named Elizabeth, and his mother Maria were all killed in the incident.
Parents should not let their children drive because young ones are not yet aware of what their actions can cause. In addition, children are not yet physically and mentally ready to handle the pressures that they may face while out on the roads.
A motorcycle accident recently killed a rider in San Diego after he lost control of his vehicle and hit an oncoming westbound Honda Accord.
The 49-year-old Virgil Frank Garrett apparently lost control of his motorcycle on a curve before swerving in front of the Accord driven by the 23-year-old motorist.
Garrett died before rescuers were able to transport him to a hospital.
The recent vehicle collision proves how difficult it is to maneuver motorcycles and so riders should be extra cautious and manage the speed of their vehicle.
Although the law prohibits drivers from leaving the scene of an accident, many drivers still try to escape to avoid liability by running away especially if the incident had resulted in injury or death to another.
This is what happened in the case of a 63-year-old woman who was critically injured in a hit-and-run incident in Lakeside.
According to authorities, the woman was hit while she was crossing Old Highway 80, east of Los Coches Road.
She sustained severe head injury and broken legs.
The vehicle was described by witnesses as a dark-colored Ford Expedition.
The woman’s family will have trouble recovering damages because the unidentified driver fled the area without assisting the victim. Because of this, the driver may face graver punishments once caught as escaping has only worsened the offense he had committed.
A multiple car crash in Santa Ana has taken the life of an 18-year-old Anaheim woman who was riding on a vehicle hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene after the accident.
The 36-year-old Robert Charles Serrano was later arrested at a relative’s house while the teen, Corbin White, died at a hospital a day later after the crash.
Reports indicate that after leaving a bar, Serrano hit a Toyota Scion, where White was a passenger, which was stopped by the traffic light. The impact caused the Scion to hit a Chevrolet Malibu that was making a turn to the southbound lanes of Main. The BMW driven by Serrano then spun and hit the vehicle at the back of the Malibu.
The driver of the Scion, including White were both taken to the hospital to be treated for serious injuries. The other two drivers were unharmed while Serrano was apparently well enough to flee the scene on foot.
Serrano is detained and faces felony charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and fleeing an accident scene.
A young life is once again senselessly taken away because of the negligence of a drunk driver who doesn’t care enough to just take a cab home after drinking so as not to endanger other motorists.
