Escondido Auto Accident Lawyer Discusses the Types of Traffic Collisions Which Confront this North San Diego County City
Escondido is a beautiful city located north of San Diego County, occupying a shallow valley surrounded by rocky hills. This is where the city got its name, which means “hidden” in Spanish. The City of Escondido was founded in 1888 and is one of the oldest cities in the entire county. With a population of 143,389 (2008), Escondido is usually an uncongested city with major streets, routes and highways marked with traffic speeds of 50 to 60 only.
There are many ways to travel to and through Escondido. One can either take Interstate 15 (I-15) or State Route 78 (SR-78) to get to Escondido and once there one can travel along Grand Avenue, Valley Parkway, Centre City Parkway, or Escondido Boulevard.
The 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) report finds that Escondido had 732 injury auto accidents, 10 of which lead to death. Of those accidents, 98 involved driving under the influence, 55 were pedestrian accidents, 52 were bike vs. auto accidents, and 44 involved motorcycle wrecks.
“Escondido is a very diverse city, both in terms of population and geography,” said Escondido car accident lawyer Ross Jurewitz . “It includes a very nice and orderly downtown and windy country roads not too far away. Drivers must navigate a variety of road designs and conditions to travel safely on Escondido’s roads.”
