Leon Gamble cited in Summit County tractor-trailer accident

SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. — The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a multi-vehicle truck crash on June 4 that injured five people.

The crash happened at around 3 p.m. on Interstate 70 where a Freightliner tractor-trailer lost its brakes while traveling west near milepost 209. The truck hit another Freightliner, causing both vehicles to veer off the roadway. Troopers reported that the impact caused the second truck to overturn. During the crash, the trailer of Gamble’s truck struck an eastbound Toyota RAV4 before coming to rest against a Toyota Tacoma.

The driver of the first truck was identified as 57-year-old Leon Gamble.

Officials said four people sustained minor injuries, while a passenger in the second tractor-trailer suffered life-threatening injuries. EMS transported the injured individuals to an area hospital.

Authorities cited Gamble for careless driving causing bodily injury.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

Candice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney, said in such cases, it’s imperative to have an independent investigation conducted promptly to protect a victim’s rights.

“Tractor-trailer crashes are often complex, and many factors can play a role in these types of accidents,” said Bond, who is a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“A skilled attorney can protect victims from trucking companies, which often send their own investigators to crash sites and possess a variety of resources they can utilize to defend a negligent truck driver.

“Your lawyer will advocate for you by hiring expert witnesses, conducting drivers’ background checks, locating witnesses to the crash, and reviewing applicable insurance coverage, while carefully guiding a victim through the legal process.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

A victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
