HIT BY A TRUCK? CONTACT A LOS ANGELES INJURY LAWYER

Trucks are one of the most lethal vehicles on the road. Due to its sheer size and weight, trucks have the potential to cause major accidents. The drivers of these trucks always have to be very careful because of their blind spots. A truck’s blind spot is much bigger compared to a regular car’s because of the truck’s size. The driver of a truck is also seated much higher compared to a driver of a sedan and it is very hard for them to see blind spots that are close to the road. In a recent accident, a man was run over by a dump trunk at a construction site.

The accident happened around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Occidental Blvd. and Hoover St. in the Westlake District of Los Angeles. Authorities are investigating if the man that was run over was a construction worker or just a bystander. Unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
