San Bernardino County Auto Accident on I-15

By Ross Jurewitz

Vannity Joy Lewis, 18, was killed and four others suffered serious injuries in a San Bernardino County car accident that occurred on September 19, 2010, around 5:15 p.m. According to the San Bernardino County?s Coroner?s Division this fatal auto accident occurred on Interstate 15 (I-15), approximately 95 miles from San Diego.

Lewis was travelling in a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta southbound on Interstate 15, south of Baseline Road.

The driver of the car and the other passengers suffered serious injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. California Highway Patrol officers are investigating the cause of this fatal car accident.

If it is found that negligent driving of the other car lead to Lewis?s death, then the at-fault driver may be held liable for Lewis?s wrongful death. He would then be responsible to compensate Lewis?s family and the injured victims to cover their medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering.

We offer our sincere condolences to Lewis?s family for such a heart rendering loss. We also hope that none of the injured victims sustain life threatening injuries and recover to their health soon.
