Camarillo: Four Men Killed and Two Others Injured in Car Accident

At about 6 a.m. on Monday, September 19^th, four men were killed and two others suffered serious injury in a car accident in Camarillo, explains a California personal injury lawyer. The crash occurred on Pleasant Valley Road when 78-year-old William Thomas Kimbell broadsided a 1997 Toyota Camry with his 2002 Cadillac sedan, the impact killing three of the occupants immediately. The other two occupants were transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where one of them later died. Kimbell broke several bones and sustained internal injuries. Authorities are investigating the collision and have asked witnesses to call 805-662-6755. 

Camarillo accounted for 3 of the 50 fatalities and 432 of the 4,259 injuries suffered by motor vehicle occupants in traffic crashes in Ventura County in 2009, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. The California Office of Traffic Safety compares the accident statistics of cities with similar populations. Those with poor records place higher in the OTS’s ranking system, with 1^st place being the worst. That year, Camarillo ranked 15^th out of 104 cities. 

All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the families of the four men who died in the car accident on Monday. We would also like to wish a full recovery to the two men who were injured.
