Read the blog from Frank Penney Injury Lawyers in Roseville, CA below.

I was strapped to a Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, moving my entire body to the rhythm of the everlasting winding road simply called “The Road to Hana.” It must’ve been ironic to see a Roseville accident lawyer hoppin’ on his Harley for the ride of a lifetime. In the middle of nowhere.

The road to Hana is a 68-mile long stretch of desolate highway, meandering through the jungle foliage of East Maui, Hawaii. The road is narrow, steep, and requires you to pass over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one-lane bridges, requiring oncoming traffic to yield. 620 curves are cutting through this lush, tropical rain forest, numerous waterfalls, tree tunnels, and other beautiful roadside attractions along the way testing your ability to remain attentive to the road. There are no stores, no gas stations, no homes, just lush, water-dripping jungle for over three hours, one way.

Several hours later I found myself standing barefoot in black sand at the Wai’anapanapa Black Sand Beach near the small town of Hana. I was amazed at the scenery – a remote, wild, low-cliffed volcanic coastline containing a faint coastal trail, sea caves, and natural stone arches relatively untouched by civilization. A few miles down the road I came to the little town of Hamoa and Hamoa beach. This town has some personal connection as my grandmother was born here. I can only imagine where she lived and played as a young girl.

On the way back to civilization, I stopped at a rare roadside fruit stand to eat a local banana, coconut and drink some water. As if to save the best for last, Mother Nature offered several full rainbows over the ocean as I hastened my way back to the quaint seaside town of Paia before nightfall. It truly was a day I will always remember. A day I will never forget.

I suppose this is the point in my blog entry where I dispense safety tips or legal principles, i.e. wear riding gear and a helmet, defensive riding is key when riding a motorcycle, motorcycle accident cases involve intense investigation, etc. I will refrain because the purpose of this is to simply share an exhilarating day of my life with whoever is reading this. The day I rode my motorcycle to “nowhere” was simply put – bliss.

I am both an avid rider and a reputable motorcycle accident lawyer, allowing me to truly understand motorcycle injury cases.

Chaos on Interstate 8: Wrong-Way Driver Causes Tragic Collision

By Frank Penney • 22 May, 2024

A calamitous event unfolded on Interstate 8 Saturday night, culminating in a series of collisions that shook witnesses to the core. According to the California Highway Patrol, the harrowing incident began when a 24-year-old National City man, driving a Toyota Tundra, recklessly traveled westbound in the wrong direction on I-8 from Fletcher Parkway, around 11:40 p.m. The consequences were dire as he collided head-on with a Honda Civic, approximately two miles west of Fletcher Parkway. The Honda, situated in the left eastbound lane just east of 70th Street at the time of impact, bore the brunt of the collision. The driver, a 33-year-old man from Montebello, Calif., suffered severe injuries and was rushed to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego. In a desperate attempt to flee the scene, the Toyota driver darted across the eastbound lanes. Tragically, his escape was cut short when he was fatally struck by a black Ford F-150 truck while traversing the westbound lanes. Miraculously, the occupants of the Ford emerged unscathed from the ordeal. While the dust settled, questions loomed regarding the involvement of alcohol or drugs in the wrong-way driver's actions, though the California Highway Patrol has yet to confirm any such influence. Remarkably, neither alcohol nor drugs played a role in the actions of the other two drivers involved. As the investigation into the harrowing incident persists, Caltrans took swift action, reclosing three lanes on I-8 in both eastbound and westbound directions Sunday afternoon, just before 5 p.m., to facilitate the ongoing examination of the accident scene.

Young Driver's Fatal Mistake Shakes Cambria: Collision on Highway 1

By Frank Penney • 22 May, 2024

On a Sunday afternoon around 3:20 p.m., a devastating collision unfolded on Highway 1 in Cambria, leaving lives forever changed. A young, unidentified driver, aged 20, was behind the wheel of a Honda Civic, heading northbound on the highway. Alongside them was 19-year-old Isabel Farrar from Flagstaff, Arizona. In the opposite direction, 56-year-old Terry Knight from Bakersfield was driving a Toyota Camry with 59-year-old Kim Fanaras as a passenger. Both vehicles were traveling in their respective lanes, with speeds unspecified at the time. Tragedy struck when, for reasons yet unknown, the Honda Civic abruptly veered into the southbound lane, directly into the path of Knight's Camry. The resulting head-on collision proved fatal for the Civic's driver, whose identity remains undisclosed pending notification of kin. Farrar and Knight suffered severe injuries, while Fanaras sustained moderate ones. Despite the shocking nature of the incident, authorities do not suspect distraction or impairment played a role, as per the California Highway Patrol. Details beyond this are scarce, leaving the community shaken and awaiting further updates on this heartbreaking event.

Fatal Collision Claims One Life, Injures Three on Highway 1

By Frank Penney • 21 May, 2024

A tragic incident unfolded on Highway 1 in Cambria last Sunday afternoon, resulting in one fatality and three individuals sustaining injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Reports indicate that a 20-year-old resident of Rocklin was driving a 2015 Honda Civic northbound along Highway 1, just north of Burton Drive, around 3:20 p.m. Suddenly, for reasons yet unknown, the vehicle veered into the southbound lane, initiating a catastrophic collision. The Honda collided head-on with a 2024 Toyota Camry traveling southbound on the highway. Tragically, the driver of the Honda, whose identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, succumbed to her injuries, as confirmed by the CHP. Her passenger, 19-year-old Isabel Farrar from Flagstaff, suffered severe injuries and was promptly taken to Adventist Health Sierra Vista in San Luis Obispo for urgent medical attention. The CHP's preliminary investigation suggests that neither distraction nor impairment played a role in the collision, as stated in their official release. The identity of the deceased driver will only be disclosed after her next of kin have been informed, the CHP emphasized. Behind the wheel of the Toyota was 56-year-old Terry Knight, a resident of Bakersfield, who also sustained significant injuries in the crash. Knight was likewise transported to Sierra Vista for medical treatment. Accompanying him was 59-year-old Kim Fanaras, also from Bakersfield, who sustained moderate injuries and received medical attention at Sierra Vista as well. This heartbreaking incident underscores the importance of road safety and serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of traffic accidents. As authorities continue their investigation, thoughts and condolences go out to all those affected by this tragic collision.
