Shortly after 4pm on Wednesday, September 12th, three people were injured when the vehicle they were driving in was involved in a single vehicle, rollover accident in San Timoteo Canyon. Due to damage caused during the rollover, one of the occupants had to be extricated by Cal Fire. While none suffered life-threatening injuries, all three were transported to the hospital with one suffering from moderate injuries, and the other two from only minor injuries.
In single car accidents there could be many factors that could have contributed to the accident. Speed, poor road conditions, poor visibility, bad weather, alcohol, vehicle malfunction, driver distraction or a failure of a safety system or tire or other vehicle part. A vehicle travelling the opposite direction could swerve into an oncoming lane, thus causing a driver to over compensate, and rollover. An improperly maintained road, with various potholes, could also contribute to a rollover accident.
