34-year-old Wildomar man was killed in a tragic truck accident that occurred on March 30 around 7:30 a.m. on a Temecula freeway. According to Riverside County coroner’s officials, the vacuum truck crashed into a big rig driven by 55-year-old Donnie Miller. Miller had stopped on the shoulder of the Winchester Road exit from southbound Interstate 15 to call his dispatch center for directions.
The vacuum truck was going about 40 mph when it struck the big rig. From the present facts, it is unclear as to how this fatal truck crash occurred. Was there a loss of control? Was the truck driver distracted or speeding? A witness told officers that the vacuum truck was weaving before the crash.
At this time, the victim’s famly members should immediately seek counsel from an experienced Riverside County big rig accident attorney who would educate them about their legal rights. The driver of the big rig can also receive compensation for any injuries sustained from the accident.
Our law office sends sincere condolences to the victim’s family members.

Three people were injured in a serious trucking accident that occurred on June 6‚ 2011‚ around 12:58 p.m. on Miraloma Avenue and Miller Street. Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Rick Martinez said
that the Ridgeline driver ran a red light and crashed into a Fresh Foods Concepts truck while travelling north.
After the collision‚ the truck driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into five parked vehicles. The vehicles that were struck by the truck included a Volkswagen Passat‚ a GMC Envoy‚ a Toyota Yaris,a Toyota Camry‚ and a Ford van.
From the available information‚ it is quite evident that the negligence of the Ridgeline driver led to this multiple-vehicle accident that injured three people. The investigating officers need to determine whether the Ridgeline driver was speeding or intoxicated. If the Ridgeline driver is at fault‚ then he and his employer may be held liable for the injuries and damages caused.
The injured victims should immediately seek counsel from an Orange County trucking injury lawyer to obtain compensation to cover medical expenses‚ loss of wages‚ cost of hospitalization‚ and other accident-related damages.
Our personal injury law office sincerely hopes that the injured victims recover to their complete health soon.
