The teen suffered severe injuries in the crash. He was airlifted by helicopter and flown to a local trauma center for emergency care.

Auto Accidents in California
Reports provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that approximately 190,000 juvenile motorists were injured in the year 2020. Every year, tens of thousands of teenagers across the country are left with severe injuries as a result of these accidents. Here in California, we see teens left with severe trauma to the head, internal organ injuries, and severe compound fractures as a result of accidents every single day.
The fact that these victims are so young means that they will have a lifetime of suffering ahead. Unfortunately, dealing with painful injuries is not only time-consuming and painful but costly as well. Over their lifetime, car crash victims can expect to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical care, medical devices, medication, and more.
Without a doubt, no young victim should be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on care and treatments that they require due to the negligence of another driver.
