A Vista man was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center with "major injuries" following a solo vehicle accident Wednesday on Highway 62 in Morongo Valley, the California Highway Patrol reported. The crash occurred on westbound Highway 62 at Samel Road at about 5:40 p.m on March 24, 2010. According to the CHP, the driver, Moises Duran, 27, of Vista, drifted off the roadway and struck a power pole. According to a CHP spokesman, Duran was wearing a seat belt, was not speeding, and was not believed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash. The CHP had not determined why Duran's vehicle drifted off the highway.
Please keep Moises in your prayers. We hope he makes a full and fast recovery and that his injuries are not life-threatening.
Based on the news reports of this San Bernardino County accident, it is not clear why the accident occurred. Did something malfunction with Moises's vehicle, or did something in the roadway cause Moises to swerve and lose control of his car? Or was Moises distracted by something? The facts of this Highway 62 accident leave more questions than answers. While the investigation is ongoing, Moises's family may benefit from consulting with a San Diego personal injury attorney who will perform an independent investigation into the cause of this major injury accident. If this accident is not the result of driver error and was caused by a defective automobile or a defect in the roadway, the victim may be entitled to compensation for his injuries, pain and suffering and other expenses related to the accident.
