On January 19, 2009, a sixteen year old driver was heading north on Palm Avenue in Central Fresno, California.  The teenage driver then made an illegal turn causing the police car to strike the teenage driver's car which created a car accident.

The teenage driver's car was struck with such force by the Fresno Police car that he ended up on a nearby homeowner's lawn.  The Fresno police car similarly left Palm Avenue in Fresno, California and came to rest after striking the fence surrounding the Fresno High School. 

Neither the teenage driver nor the Fresno police officer suffered serious injuries as a result of the car accident.  However, the suspect left his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot as he didn't have a driver's license.  The teenager was caught shortly thereafter and arrested for hit and run.  He may also be charged with damaging state property as well as driving without a license.

Although neither the driver nor the police officer was seriously injured, if you were involved in a similar car accident, you should still retain a knowledgable and experienced Fresno personal injury attorney to make sure you have proper representation.
