Ventura, California (March 16, 2020) – Austin Gambill,16, of Ventura has been identified as the boy who was hit and killed by a truck on Wednesday afternoon in Ventura, according to police.

The crash occurred along Seaward Avenue, north of Alessandro Drive, at about 3:27 p.m., on March 11.

A 2011 Chevrolet Silverado truck went up on the curb and struck Gambill who was on the sidewalk at the time, according to the police. The pedestrian was reportedly on a short run for practice when the accident occurred.

Gambill was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead on Friday, March 13, due to the injuries sustained from the crash.

The involved driver remained at the scene and was cooperative, according to the authorities.

Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash.

An investigation into the crash is underway.

“A person on foot is no match for a large, multi-ton vehicle. Pedestrians have virtually no protection when they are hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other vehicles” Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian, believes. “Sadly, this often leads to catastrophic injuries including temporary or lifelong disability, severe disfigurement, severe physical and emotional pain, and/or death.” He adds.

Alpine Law Group President and Managing Partner, Arin Khodaverdian, encourage victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys have 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.
