2 Men Die after Lancaster Train Accident at West Avenue I and Sierra Highway

Lancaster, California (May 30, 2020) – Authorities are investigating a Friday morning traffic crash involving a train and a car that killed two men in Lancaster.

The crash happened at about 5:15 a.m., on May 29, at the intersection of West Avenue I and Sierra Highway.

The police said a Union Pacific train collided with an SUV on the railroads. 

Authorities suspected the security arms were down, and the SUV had crossed the safety barrier before the crash.

Two male occupants in the SUV were pronounced dead at the scene.

No other injuries were reported from the accident.

Avenue I at Sierra Highway was closed for an unknown period following the collision.

The crash remains under investigation.

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.
