A multi-vehicle crash early Saturday morning on the Ontario Freeway claimed the life of a 70-year-old woman.

Cynthia Weymans died early Saturday in a four-vehicle crash on the Ontario Freeway in Jurupa Valley.
Cynthia Weymans, 70, of Yorba Linda, died at the scene. The condition of the other people involved has not been released.
Authorities say the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4,428 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in the state of California in 2022, the most of any state in the country. The NHTSA says speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving, per data from 2018.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process.”
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the investigation, the family of Cynthia Weymans could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.
“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
“An attorney can protect victims from large insurance companies and their team of lawyers while diligently examining the facts of the accident. A lawyer will vigorously advocate for a family who has lost a loved one, ensuring that their legal rights are protected.”
