Tragic Truck Accident in the S Curve
Last week's Monday accident at the new S-curve on the Bay Bridge, where a speeding truck driver lost control and plunged 200 feet to his death in his big rig onto Yerba Buena Island, was a sad and unnecessary tragedy. The S curve was a poor design choice for Bay Bridge repair and drivers don't expect it on a bridge crossing. This accident is just one of many in that curve and Caltrans' answer is typically the same. Driver error. Speeding. Inattention. Driving across the Bay Bridge and experiencing that S curve is all one needs to do to understand the design flaw present. All the signage in the world will not resolve that problem.
There is a short 6 month claims requirement against Caltrans that must be satisfied before pursuing your rights to recover for your injuries or the loss of your loved one. Take care to act quickly if Caltrans was responsible for a design problem such as the S curve on the Bay Bridge.
