Blown Tire Causes Four-Vehicle Accident in Pasadena

Drivers are expected to maintain the good condition of their tires and check if they are already worn out because failure to do so can suddenly result to a tragic road accident.

In fact, a big rig with a blown tire had apparently caused injury to three people when it triggered a four-vehicle accident along the Foothill (210) Freeway in Pasadena.

According to reports, two people sustained serious injuries while another one is now under a critical condition. All of them were brought to a hospital to receive treatment for their injuries.

Police said two drivers needed to be extricated from two different vehicles, which include one that rolled over.

All westbound lanes were closed by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for hours after the incident.

Avoiding accidents caused by blown tires requires little effort from drivers. They should always remember their obligation of checking the condition of their tires not only for their own sake, but for the safety of all road users.

Man Struck and Killed by Car While Fleeing from Robbery

All road users, including pedestrians, are required to follow traffic laws and avoid any kind of distraction that can result to road accidents. However, some distractions may be unavoidable and can suddenly end an innocent person’s life.

This is exactly what happened to a male teenager who was struck and killed in Canoga Park after failing to see an approaching car because he was focused on fleeing from a “would-be robber.”

According to reports, authorities found Miguel Alvarenga, 18, unconscious along the 20600 block of Sherman Way.

Investigators said a bicyclist approached the teen and tried to rob him.

Alvarenga was hit by a vehicle while he was running into the street, away from the bicyclist. He was brought to a local hospital where he was announced dead after a day because of his injuries, said reports.

Authorities are still trying to locate the whereabouts of the bicyclist and are asking for public assistance in accomplishing this goal.

Two People Hospitalized after Two-Car Collision

A collision is a type of road accident that often results to injuries because of the tremendous impact between moving vehicles.

At least two people were brought to Community Regional Center after being injured in a two-car collision along Grantland and Shaw avenues in west of Fresno.

According to reports, the accident caused Shaw’s eastbound lanes to be partly blocked.

The extent of the sustained injuries was not immediately available.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the collision.
