SINKHOLE CLOSES MURRIETA FREEWAY. CALL LA ACCIDENT LAWYERS FOR HELP NOW.

Southern Californians are constantly on the road. While there are many dangers to driving Los Angeles streets and freeways, two of the most hidden hazards are dangerous road construction and defective road design. State agencies and local municipalities are responsible for keeping roads safe for Los Angeles area drivers. When dangerous conditions such as potholes, construction zones or shoulder drop-offs exist, then car, motorcycle, and truck drivers must be alerted properly. Failure to provide appropriate signage or warning can result in deadly accidents with injuries ranging from paralysis to broken bones. A 25-foot sinkhole recently developed on a highway in Murrieta, CA.

The Murrieta sinkhole happened in the middle of the 215 Freeway. The sinkhole was caused by a broken drainage pipe. The hole shut down the freeway for 6 days while the road was repaired and made safe. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured. Here are some common road design and defects responsible for car and motorcycle accidents:

  • Blind corners
  • Inadequate guardrails or barriers
  • Low curbing
  • Landscaping
  • Poor sight lines
  • Speed bumps
  • Uncovered drain pits
