Construction, No Shoulder Causes Car Accident on I-805

Four people were injured Saturday after construction along I-805 blocked a driver from pulling over to the shoulder.

The accident caused a multi-vehicle pile up near East Palomar in Chula Vista.

Police say a woman experienced car trouble and tried to pull over to a safe place, but cement barriers due to ongoing construction along that stretch of I-805 prevented her from getting to safety.

Her disabled car led to a four-car chain reaction pileup. Officials say one person needed to be pulled from a vehicle. All of the injuries reported were minor.

Meanwhile, the CHP is still investigating who or what is at fault in the incident.

San Diego car accidents can happen any time, anywhere. Injury accident victims face complicated insurance claims, high medical bills, and sometimes loss of work. It’s important not to settle any type of claim without the assistance of a San Diego car accident lawyer who understands the legal systems and accident victims’ rights. If you were recently involved in an accident, contact the Law Office of Steven A. Elia to get the compensation you deserve and acknowledgement of your pain and suffering.
