Krista Smith was involved in a serious vehicle incident around 11:00 PM in October 2024 while driving her 2006 Ford Mustang on Highway 99 in Oroville, California. While traveling at approximately 65 mph, a driveline from a semi-truck suddenly detached and struck the front of her vehicle before becoming lodged underneath it. The impact blew out her tires and caused major undercarriage damage, rendering the car nearly totaled. The truck driver was reportedly unaware of the incident and continued driving. Following the crash, Krista experienced physical injuries and is now seeking coverage for medical expenses and lost wages related to the accident. No legal action was taken at the time of the incident, and no claim has yet been filed against the trucking company, despite the clear mechanical failure and unsafe conditions that led to the crash. She is actively pursuing her options for holding the commercial carrier accountable. This case presents strong potential for a commercial negligence claim, with evidence of mechanical failure leading to highway debris and physical harm to the claimant. The combination of property loss, personal injury, and financial hardship from missed work further strengthens the legal basis for pursuing compensation. Krista is seeking legal support to begin the claims process and recover damages tied to the accident.
