Sacramento Motorcycle-Truck Wreck Leaves One Dead, Another Injured

All Sacramento motor vehicle accidents are inherently dangerous. However, the risks involved in a serious wreck increase exponentially when a motorcycle—which leaves its driver and passengers vulnerable to hazards—and heavy trucks collide. One such accident on I-80 in West Sacramento lead to the death of a lane-splitting motorcyclist, and resulted in serious injuries to his female passenger.

73-year-old Robert McDonald was driving his Harley Davidson Electra Glide on I-80 in west Sacramento around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday when the crash occurred. McDonald was navigating his motorcycle between a 24-foot flatbed truck and a tractor-trailer truck when the bike started to wobble. Both McDonald and his passenger, a 52-year-old female, were thrown from the Harley. McDonald was then run over by the rear tandem tires of the flatbed truck, and the passenger was hit by the tractor-trailer truck.

Although both received medical attention at the scene of the accident, McDonald was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. The passenger was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
