Aguanga, California (October 13, 2021) – Two people were injured Wednesday morning in a traffic collision involving a sewage tanker truck in Aguanga, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
The crash happened at around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 13, in the area of Highway 371 and Highway 79.
The CHP report states that the truck carrying 2,300 gallons of sewage was trying to transition from the eastbound Highway 371 onto northbound Highway 79 when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
The truck reportedly overturned and crashed into two vehicles, a white pickup truck and a red Ford Expedition SUV.
Following the collision, the truck landed on the SUV, trapping its occupants.

The driver of the truck was not hurt in the crash.
One lane of the northbound Highway 79 was blocked at the junction while crews cleaned up the leaking chemicals and sewage from the truck.
The crash remains under investigation.
Traffic Collisions in Aguanga
Many factors lead to traffic collisions in Aguanga, including bad road conditions, driving under the influence, distracted driving, ignorance of traffic laws, poor street lighting and weather conditions, among others.
When you are involved in a traffic collision, you and your family may be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical bills, property damages, and maybe funeral services, while also enduring endless mental and emotional suffering.
Although the exact cause of the accident above was not immediately determined, the authorities will continue to gather more information, including witness statements to establish the cause of the accident. However, Pacific Attorney Group's managing attorney P. Mark Shayani believes that a separate and independent investigation into the crash is equally important. “A car accident attorney will investigate, research, and review every case thoroughly and explain to clients their rights and answer all questions to their satisfaction,” he said.
Victims of traffic accidents have an enforceable right under law to full and fair compensation for the costs and losses they suffer. Whether they receive what the law provides for them or whether they receive any compensation at all depends on how well their attorneys can pursue their claims through the intricacies of the state civil legal processes.
