El Dorado Hills, CA (February 21, 2025) – A collision involving a semi-truck and at least three other vehicles on February 20 left one dead and three injured.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., the California Highway Patrol received a call for a multiple-vehicle crash on Green Valley Road at Francisco Drive in El Dorado Hills.
According to CHP officials, a Peterbilt semi-truck hauling an excavator on a flatbed trailer was traveling west on Green Valley Road when, for unknown reasons at this time, it crossed into the westbound lane at Francisco Drive, colliding with oncoming traffic. The truck veered off the roadway approximately 30 feet.
The driver and passenger of a Tesla Model Y and the driver of a Hyundai Elantra all had injuries and were treated at the scene. A Toyota Tundra also sustained minor damage as a result of the crash. The driver of the semi, a 48-year-old man from Weimer, was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are investigating the incident, and no further details have been released at this time, however. Witnesses were asked to step forward.
Our thoughts are with those injured in this incident, and we hope for their fast recovery.
Truck accidents in California can lead to devastating injuries, property damage, and emotional distress. Given the complexity of trucking laws and the involvement of multiple parties—including truck drivers, trucking companies, and insurers—it's essential to understand your rights and legal options after a crash.
California law requires trucking companies and drivers to adhere to strict regulations, including maintenance standards, proper loading, and driving hours. Violations of these laws can contribute to accidents, making these entities liable for damages. Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
If you've been injured in a truck accident in California, consulting an experienced truck accident attorney is critical. They can investigate the circumstances of the crash, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if necessary, pursue your case in court to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
