A multi-vehicle collision on Monday, October 12, 2026, just before 8:30 a.m., left four people injured in the 1000 block of Fourth Avenue near Moss Street in Chula Vista. A juvenile passenger was taken to a trauma center in critical condition. Police reported that a Toyota Camry leaving a parking lot struck a northbound Mazda 6, which then veered into an oncoming Dodge Durango.

According to 10News.com, the Mazda’s 31-year-old driver suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and two boys in the Mazda had minor injuries. The Durango’s 24-year-old driver and a child in that SUV were taken for precautionary medical exams, and the Camry’s 21-year-old driver was reported uninjured. Times of San Diego also covered the crash. Neither report states a cause or determination of fault, so any questions of responsibility remain allegedly unresolved pending the police investigation.

What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code section 21804 requires a driver entering a roadway from private property, such as a parking lot, to yield the right-of-way to all traffic on the road that is close enough to be an immediate hazard. That duty continues until the driver can safely enter without interfering with other traffic. Whether this rule applies here depends on what the investigation finds.

Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, a personal injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years of the injury. Claims involving children and other special circumstances can follow different timing rules, so families should get advice early. Beverly Law handles these cases with no fee unless we win.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
