Poway is a city in San Diego County, California famous for its motto, “The City in the Country”, which was inspired by the city’s rural roots. The city is also known as the “Tree City” for almost 9 years as it houses some of the country’s famous ecological reserves and natural attraction sites such as the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve and Lake Poway.

A total of 136 motor vehicle injury accidents happened within the city, 4 of which were fatal. 18 car accidents were due to drunk driving, 2 were pedestrian-involved, 12 involved bicycles, and 5 from motorcycle collisions.
“The East San Diego County community of Poway is a country oasis just minutes from Downtown San Diego and easy driving distance to the beach,” said Poway car accident lawyer Ross Jurewitz. “Unfortunately, given its’ population, Poway experiences far too many motor vehicle accidents.
