Local news outlets have referred to an accident that happened on the Pacific Coast Highway claiming that the driver was subsequently rescued from the ocean.
California Highway Patrol reports show that the authorities were allegedly chasing the driver and that the vehicle the man was driving was possibly stolen. By the time the pursuit reached the Pacific Coast Highway just north of Yerba Buena Road, the car went tumbling off the roadway and ended up inside of the ocean.
Following the call from a swimmer who watched the entire scene to the U.S. Coast Guard, the local firefighters rescued the driver from the ocean and took him to the Hospital.
According to the authorities, the man is expected to survive regardless of the major injuries the driver suffered in the accident. Other three men involved with the chase were allegedly arrested by the authorities right away.
As a Newport Beach car accident lawyer I urge drivers to be aware of road conditions before speeding. Be attentive to the road signs and always follow the orders from the authorities if you find yourself being pulled over.
Personal injury lawyers hope that nobody else was injured as a result of this accident.
