Sacramento, CA – Car accidents occur frequently, leading to serious injuries and even death. However, victims and surviving loved ones may be able to claim compensation for their pain and suffering with legal counsel, which is what one family might be in the process of doing following a tragic fatal crash.
A young boy was killed on Sunday in a motor vehicle accident and was identified by the Sacramento County Coroner’s office as Edward Hill, 12, of Elk Grove. Hill was riding his bicycle with a friend and was crossing the street at Bond Road and Elk Crest Drive when a pickup truck pulling a camper trailer struck him.
Police have not revealed what exactly caused the accident but the driver of the truck is not suspected of having committed any wrongdoing. The young victim was hit by the trailer but not the truck, said police. Authorities suspect he may have been trying to get in between the truck and trailer when it stopped.
Medical personnel who happened to be in the area when the accident took place attempted to revive the boy and transported him to UC Davis Medical Center, but he was pronounced dead shortly after.

Shane Sutton, the head coach of the British Cycling team and head coach at Team Sky, has sustained brain injuries following a bike accident just one day after Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins was also injured in a similar incident.
The accident took place in Manchester, northwest England. Sutton was immediately transported to an area hospital, where he will remain for the next few days. Authorities say Sutton was wearing a helmet and will undergo additional tests to determine the extent of his injuries.
“It is extremely rare that our riders and coaches are hurt while out cycling on the road, even rarer that two incidents should occur in a short space of time, and we wish Shane and Bradley a speedy recovery,” said British Cycling in statement.
Wiggins, 32, collided with a vehicle near his home in Eccleston. He was released with minor injuries, including bruised ribs and hand, and is expected to make a full recovery. He was the first British winner of the Tour de France on July 22 and ten days later won his fourth Olympic gold medal at the London Games.
