Infomation on accident on Mission Boulevard and Ramona Avenue
A reader called me last week asking about this accident --
In the early morning hours on Sunday, July 19, the Police Department's
Major Accident Investigation Team was called out to investigate a
possible fatal traffic collision at Mission Boulevard and Ramona Avenue.
Two occupants were ejected from their vehicle onto the roadway.
Based on the preliminary investigation, a 1991 Jeep Wrangler traveling
northbound on Ramona Avenue through the Mission Boulevard
intersection was struck by a 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup truck traveling
westbound on Mission Boulevard. The violent impact caused the Jeep
Wrangler to spin out-of-control across the intersection, throwing both
occupants onto the roadway. The female passenger was listed in
critical condition with head, neck, and back injuries. The male driver
had back injuries and a broken leg and was listed in serious condition
after undergoing surgery that morning.
The driver of the Chevy pickup truck was determined to be extremely
intoxicated at the time of the collision and was arrested for DUI with
great bodily injury, a felony. He was booked at West Valley Detention
Center after being treated for minor injuries from the collision.
Officers Brandon Kumanski and Rob Pipersky used the Sokkia Total
Station (surveying equipment) to map and draw the collision scene. The
Sokkia Total Station is an extremely accurate piece of specialized
equipment purchased with grant funds. It allows Officers to investigate
the scene of a collision or crime scene faster and more accurately than
in the past, thus allowing for increased prosecution of the DUI driver or
other criminals.
