Families of crash victims sue CHP and California government.

The families of two individuals who tragically lost their lives in two separate crashes on the 605 Freeway last month have taken legal action by filing a government claim against the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the state of California. The claim alleges that negligence on the part of a CHP officer directly caused the disabled state of the victims' vehicle after the first crash. It further accuses the same officer of failing to secure the roadway following the initial collision, which led to a second crash claiming the lives of the victims. The incident, initially believed to be a single crash near the 105 Freeway interchange in Norwalk on July 20, was later confirmed to involve two separate crashes. The devastating loss was experienced by Julie Hamori, Armand Del Campo, Jordan Partridge, and Sam Skocilic, who were friends returning from a night out. The families shared heartbreaking details of their loss and the impact it has had, including poignant reminders of wedding plans and promising futures. Legal representatives are seeking access to critical evidence related to the accidents as part of the claim. The CHP and California State have a specified duration to respond to the claim before further legal actions may be taken by the families affected. The CHP offered condolences to the bereaved families but did not provide additional comments.
