No one was injured in a Costa Mesa crash involving an SUV rollover on Monday morning, according to police. The crash occurred at 9:30 a.m., when a Toyota 4Runner and a Toyota Corolla collided, causing the 4Runner to flip over onto its side. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Rollover accidents often cause serious injuries, especially if the vehicle occupants are not wearing seat belts. Catastrophic injuries, such as paralysis, brain trauma, and internal wounds are typically more common and more serious in rollover crashes. Rollover accidents occur often with SUVs because their high center of gravity makes them prone to rolling over when involved in accidents. If you have been injured in a rollover accident, you should contact an experienced Orange County auto accident attorney to discuss your case today.

Driver Charged in Fatal Crash Believed to be Texting While Driving

Police charged a woman with vehicular manslaughter and gross negligence on Thursday involving a fatal auto accident last April. The accident allegedly occurred because the woman was texting while driving, causing her to become so distracted that she failed to realize traffic on the freeway had come to a dead stop. A 23-year-old woman was killed in the crash.

Texting and talking on a cell phone while driving cause scores of traffic accidents each year. According to a study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, distracted driving, including texting and using a cell phone while driving, is responsible for nearly 80 percent of traffic accidents each year. People injured in accidents caused by texting while driving often suffer serious, debilitating injuries that prevent them from leading the life they led before the accident. And in the most severe crashes, people are killed.

The driver, who suffered minor injuries to his foot, is expected to be taken into custody for driving under the influence. While this incident involved only minor injuries and damage to property, drunk driving accidents often result in serious injuries and death to other drivers, passengers and pedestrians.
