MERCED COUNTY (March 6, 2024) — A tragic incident occurred on Highway 5 in Merced County early Tuesday morning when two big rigs collided, resulting in one fatality, as reported by the California Highway Patrol. 

The Merced County big rig crash, which took place near Santa Nella around 3:00 a.m., led to a temporary closure of the highway. Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing.

In the wake of such incidents, understanding legal liability becomes crucial for the families of victims. Personal injury attorneys play a vital role in this process, guiding bereaved families through the complexities of filing for wrongful death compensation. 

These claims can provide essential financial support for hospital expenses, burial costs, and the loss of income, helping families find some measure of solace during difficult times.
