Clarksburg, CA (October 27, 2025) – One person suffered life-threatening injuries after a serious crash on Monday evening on South River Road, just south of Clarksburg, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
The collision occurred around 7:38 p.m. near the 33200 block of South River Road. Reports indicate that a vehicle veered off the roadway and went down an embankment along the levee. Fire crews and CHP officers responded to find the vehicle several feet off the road with one person trapped and severely injured.
Emergency responders extricated the victim, who sustained major burns and critical injuries, before airlifting them to UC Davis Medical Center for treatment. CHP officers confirmed that the injuries were life-threatening. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and officials have not yet confirmed whether impairment or speed played a role.
Our thoughts are with the injured driver and their family, and we wish for a full and speedy recovery.
Major Injury Car Accidents in California: Know Your Legal Rights
Major crashes often leave victims with serious injuries, long-term recovery needs, and significant financial strain. Under California law, those injured in car accidents caused by another’s negligence may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation costs.
Even in single-vehicle crashes, liability can sometimes involve road design, maintenance issues, or defective vehicle components. An experienced California personal injury attorney can conduct a full investigation, reviewing CHP reports, scene evidence, and expert analysis to determine all possible sources of compensation.
California’s statute of limitations allows injured victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Taking early legal action ensures vital evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.
