One Hospitalized After Car Crashes Into Fire Truck on Highway 24 near Acalanes Road in Lafayette

Lafayette, California (April 7, 2020) – One person was injured Monday night following a traffic collision involving a fire truck and a car in Lafayette, authorities said.

The 11:32 p.m. collision took place at about 11:32 p.m. April 6 on Highway 24, just east of Acalanes Road.

According to the authorities, a Honda Accord was traveling in the westbound lane of the highway when, for unknown reasons, it slammed into a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District engine. The engine was part of a team working a multi-vehicle crash that occurred in the area at around 9:07 p.m.

One occupant of the Accord was pinned inside the wreckage and was freed by the fire crews. The victim was then transported to an area hospital for treatment.

No other injuries were reported.

Authorities closed all lanes of the westbound freeway as hazmat crew worked to clean up a fuel spill.

An investigation into the crash is underway.

Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
