Sunday morning collision happened along Cherry Street
TOLEDO, OH, (November 17, 2024) - Early Sunday morning, a collision at the intersection of Cherry and Rockingham streets in Toledo resulted in injuries to 29-year-old La’Quell Davis. The crash occurred at approximately 5:57 a.m. as Davis was driving east on Cherry Street.
La’Quell Davis was one of three people injured on Sunday morning as the result of a two-vehicle crash in Toledo.
The incident was triggered when a 25-year-old woman from Toledo, who was driving west on Cherry, attempted to change lanes to overtake another vehicle. This maneuver led her into oncoming traffic, where she collided with Davis' vehicle.
Davis, along with her 27-year-old passenger and the other driver, were transported to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center. All parties involved sustained injuries in the crash.
The Toledo Police Department is investigating the incident.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill roughly 36,000 people and injure 1.9 million more. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes in 2018, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
La’Quell Davis may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.
Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
"Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
