Motorcyclist Seriously Injured in Fairfield Crash at Waterman Boulevard and Edmonton Drive Wednesday morning

Fairfield, California (May 15, 2020) – A motorcyclist sustained serious injuries Wednesday morning in a wrong-way DUI car accident in Fairfield, according to authorities.

At around 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, officers responded to the area of Waterman Boulevard and Edmonton Drive, for a report of a traffic accident involving a vehicle and a motorcycle, authorities said.

A sport utility vehicle reportedly veered across the double yellow line and struck a motorcyclist.

The motorcyclist, whose name has not been disclosed, was taken to a nearby trauma center for treatment of major injuries.

The driver of the SUV, Joshua Acup, 32, Citrus Heights, was arrested and booked into the Solano County jail on suspicion of driving the wrong way and DUI causing bodily injury or death. He was being held on a $50,000 bail.

An investigation into the crash is underway.

“Far too many motorcycle collisions are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of other motorists. Sadly, when this occurs, motorcyclists are the ones who tend to suffer the vast majority of injuries”, according to Arin Khodaverdian, Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. Under California’s rule of comparative negligence, a victim may be able to collect compensation for injuries and other damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident.

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.
