Monterey, California (June 27, 2020) – A traffic collision involving a blue 2013 VW Tiguan and a white 2019 Ford F250 on northbound Highway 1 in Monterey, at approximately 3:00 p.m., resulted in the death of one person.

The initial report indicated that the Ford, driven by 49-year-old Kevin Johnson, struck the rear of the VW Tiguan after it slowed down near Highway 156 Friday afternoon on June 26.

The VW Tiguan operator died at Natividad Medical Center while undergoing treatment. Pending notification of next of kin, the identity of the deceased remained undisclosed.

Neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected factors in the accident. 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.
