Santa Clara, CA—One person was killed in a single-vehicle crash early Friday morning, September 20, 2024, leading to multiple road closures, according to NBC Bay Area.
The accident occurred near Agnew Road, which was shut down in both directions between Harrigan Drive and Garrity Way.
Authorities responded to the scene just before dawn, and by 6:20 a.m., they confirmed that one individual had died as a result of the crash. In addition to the Agnew Road closure, southbound lanes of De La Cruz Boulevard at Montague Expressway were also blocked off while the investigation continued.
Police have not yet provided details on the cause of the crash or the identity of the victim. Drivers were urged to avoid the area and use alternate routes as crews worked to clear the scene. There was no immediate estimate on when the roads would reopen.
The Santa Clara Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision.
Liability in Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road conditions share some responsibility. A personal injury attorney plays a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Once liability is determined, the attorney can negotiate with insurance companies, who often try to reduce payouts. That means having legal representation can be vital to ensure victims receive fair compensation for their loss.
