Witnesses claim that the entire street is covered with sheets of ice and when the car attempted to stop, it slid and jumped the curb.

The police are still investigating the accident but they believe the car did not realize the street was a dead end and had to stop suddenly. There are no signs in the area indicating a dead end.

Horse Trailer Crash Near Loveland | Denver Defective Product Attorney

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:17:49 +0000

According to KDVR.com, a crash on Highway 34 near Loveland involving a horse trailer resulted in rescue crews having to use the Jaws of Life to free one of the two horses that were being transported in the trailer. The accident occurred around 5 pm when the trailer became unhitched from the Recreational Vehicle that was pulling it. Apparently no other vehicle was involved in the accident beside the horse trailer, and there was no serious injury to either horse, although the one, which is known for appearing in jousting competitions had to be sedated to be removed from the trailer. Certainly, with a trailer coming unhitched from its vehicle, it is lucky that no one was hurt, and that there wasn’t more property damage. The article does not make clear why the trailer came unhitched. While we obviously don’t know, one possibility is a defective hitch on either the RV or the trailer.

Have you or a loved one been injured in an accident caused by defective equipment on a vehicle? Contact a Denver Defective Product Attorney today to discuss your options.

Every year, there are well over 5 million police-reported motor vehicle crashes in the United States, according to data provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The vast majority of them involve property damage only, with no injuries. Of course, the injuries that they report would be injuries to people, not animals. Had the horses been seriously injured or killed, this still would not have been considered an injury accident, but veterinarian bills or replacement cost of horses would have represented a significant amount of property damage.

This impact caused the Explorer to roll and caused injuries to all of the passengers inside. The children were all taken to local hospitals and it is not yet clear if they were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Another bike related accident has occurred in the Denver area causing the Denver police to hold an immediate press conference to address this new growing epidemic. According to the Examiner, the incident occurred off of 8^th Avenue and Wyandot Street when the young cyclist was struck by a car and ended up in the Denver Heath Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries.

This number seems to have been on the rise and the Denver police have decided to intervene and figure out a way to prevent these numbers from growing any larger.

The Denver Police Department believes that proper education by both parties will help to decrease the number of bicyclist injuries in the Denver area.
