One person was injured in a two-car head-on collision near the campus of Cal State-Fullerton, according to a news report.
Fullerton police said that the driver of a Toyota Camry was traveling south on State College Boulevard and attempted to turn left at Dorothy Lane onto the campus of Cal State-Fullerton. The Camry drove directly into the path of a Mitsubishi Diamante that was traveling north on State College Blvd.
The driver of the Diamante was able to move his car into an adjacent parking lot, where he was treated for injuries by Fullerton emergency crews, which then took him to St. Jude Medical Center after he complained of back pain. The Camry driver was not injured.
There are certain types of accidents that leave little room for doubt when determining fault. If another driver hits you from behind, it is almost never your fault, no matter why you stopped. This is because of a basic “rule of the road” that requires a driver to be able to stop safely if traffic in front of them has stopped. If you were going straight and a vehicle making a left-hand turn turned in front of you, that driver is generally found to be liable.
