Pleasanton, California (April 18, 2020) – The California Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal Friday morning truck accident in Pleasanton.

The deadly crash happened on southbound Interstate Highway 680, just north of Bernal Ave, at around 2:16 a.m.

The police said a 1996 Lexus sedan, driven by a 23-year-old man from Oakland, rear-ended a semi-truck on the roadway. The Lexus then smashed into the center divider and finally struck the right shoulder of the road.

Both the driver and a passenger in the Lexus were not wearing a seat belt when the accident occurred. The driver was thrown out of the vehicle as a result of the collision.

The Lexus driver and his passenger, a 22-year-old man also from Oakland, succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

The semi-truck driver was uninjured.

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.
