This accident occurred as the Morales vehicle Was northbound on
N.W. 27th Avenue. She was forced to reduce speed due to another
vehicle turning in front of her vehicle. The City unit which Was
a tractor -trailer type, operated by the Sanitation Department, was
immediately to the rear of the Morales vehicle. Brakes were
applied in an attempt to avoid rear -end collision; however, the
rear -end type collision could not be avoided even after heavy
application of brakes. The City unit left 28 feet of skid marks
by the left rear tractor tires, and some six feet of skids by
the left rear tractor tires.
Impact was of some magnitude and property damage was paid in the
amount of $757.06 earlier in the life of this file. The complete
rear of the car was bent downwards some three inches from the
rear window panel area down both sides of the quarter panels.
This is a matter to settle.
Maria Morales was the operator and lone occupant of the claimant
vehicle. She was taken to Cedars of Lebanon hospital for emergency
room treatment and was confined.
