Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- Top Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, Rodney Mesriani, Esq., would like to call the attention of California motorists to always be mindful of their surroundings while driving, in order to prevent auto accidents, especially when faced with approaching emergency vehicles that are sounding their sirens and displaying forward facing red-lights (Code 3).

Rodney Mesriani, Esq., - Mesriani Law GroupTop Personal Injury Law Firm in Los Angeles, California

In the most recent auto accident reported on Sunday, October 13, 2013, an LAPD cruiser collided with a BMW and a taxi in the 13000 block of Mindanao Way in Playa Del Rey. According to ABC 7, KABC-TV, Los Angeles, CA, "Three people, including two officers, were taken to the hospital after a Los Angeles Police Department cruiser was involved in a crash in Playa Del Rey Sunday night. The crash happened at 8:38 p.m. in the 13000 block of Mindanao Way. Police say officers were responding to a call of a woman with a knife, when their cruiser collided with a BMW and a taxi. Two police officers, along with one person in the BMW, were transported to an area hospital. There was no immediate word on their conditions.

Top Los Angeles personal injury law firm headed by Rodney Mesriani, Esq., opines that the auto accident could have been prevented had motorists recognize prevailing traffic conditions. According to Rancho Cordova Police Department, in the past five years, there have been nearly 200 traffic collisions involving Department vehicles responding Code 3. These traffic collisions have resulted in injuries to 41 citizens and 101 officers. (The Code 3 Vehicle - "Please Abide, Move Aside"). "In every auto accident, a lot of lives are changed forever, especially the auto accident victims who either suffered serious and permanent personal injuries, as well as those whose loved ones have been untimely taken from them as a result of wrongful death. Furthermore, in cases where the auto accident involves an emergency vehicle such as that of the LAPD cruiser that was responding to an impending tragedy, additional lives are affected due to the failure of the police authorities to timely arrive at the scene and prevent further disaster due to being involved in this avoidable auto accident", stressed Mr. Mesriani.

The foregoing considered, according to Mr. Mesriani of Mesriani Law Group, it is therefore very important to remember the following Code 3 Vehicle Laws under California Vehicle Code, in order to avoid further auto accidents and tragedies in the lives of motorists and other citizens affected when emergency vehicles are prevented from responding to emergency situations:
• 21806 (a) (1) CVC - When approached by an emergency vehicle, which is sounding a siren and displaying a forward facing red-light (Code 3), all vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way and drive to the right side of the roadway and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed;
• 21806 (a) (2) CVC - When approached by an emergency vehicle that is responding Code 3 in a carpool lane, all vehicles shall exit the lane immediately; and
• 21806 (c) CVC - When approached by an emergency vehicle that is responding Code 3, all pedestrians upon the roadway shall yield the right-of-way and proceed to the nearest curb or place of safety and remain there until the emergency vehicle has passed.
"In the end, regardless of whether you are approached by emergency vehicles responding to accidents, disasters or calamities or just faced with ordinary pedestrians or motorists on the roads, it is always best to constantly use caution, restraint and patience while driving along the streets of California. You might not know it yet, but the lives that could be saved might just be your own or your family's", adds Mr. Mesriani.
