Oxnard, California (March 11, 2020) – Laura Christian, 67, of Ventura has been identified as the woman killed in a crash involving two vehicles on Tuesday, March 3, according to police.

At about 3:25 p.m., a Ford Freestyle and a Lexus ES300 collided head-on on North Rose Avenue near Central Avenue in the unincorporated area of El Rio.

Zachary Archuletadiaz, 21, of Port Hueneme, was driving the Ford southbound on the roadway when he drifted across the center line into the northbound lane and began driving the wrong way, said the police.

Archuletadiaz then collided head-on with the oncoming Lexus driven by Christian.

Christian was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 68-year-old man, who was a passenger in the Lexus, was taken to Ventura County Medical Center with significant injuries for treatment.

Archuletadiaz was arrested on suspicion of driving when intoxicated.

“Car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the involved circumstances”, says Mr. Arin Khodaverdian, the Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. He further said that “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”.

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.
