The Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office on Monday, August 10th, identified the fatal victim of a traffic collision on Highway 4 in Concord, California. Jennifer Jackson, 41, of Pittsburg, died from injuries sustained in the occurrence.

Facts from the accident report disclosed that the crash that killed the victim happened around 6:30 a.m. on Friday, August 7th, just east of Willow Pass Road exit. According to the California Highway Patrol, Jackson allowed her maroon Honda Accord to collide with a semi-truck.

The investigators said that both vehicles were eastbound on the highway at the time. Emergency responders pronounced the woman dead at the scene, and the semi driver escaped unscathed. The investigation into the occurrence is ongoing, and the CHP does not suspect the involvement of drugs or alcohol.

When a motor vehicle accident happens, no one is prepared for it, and it can either lead to zero injuries, minor, moderate, severe, or fatal injuries. Common wounds associated with traffic accidents cover broken bones, fractures, ligament tear, road rash, internal bleeding, and organ damage.

Others are head injuries like intracranial bleeding, concussion, or skull fracture. These injuries are sometimes life-altering if they lead to amputations, loss of an organ, or paralysis due to damage to the spinal cord. Drivers have a role to play in mitigating these consequences.

Motorists achieve this by promoting safe behavior on the road and obeying traffic rules and regulations. Beyond the injuries and death, a person involved in a traffic accident and survives can face legal consequences with severe punishments.
