Accident Report
March 20, 2026, Joshua Simmons and two others were injured in a car accident shortly before 10:15 p.m. along Potranco Road.
According to authorities, two people—25-year-old Joshua Simmons and a 25-year-old woman—were traveling in an eastbound Nissan Versa on Potranco road attempting a left turn to head north on Seasape Drive when the accident took place. Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, a collision occurred between the front-end of the Nissan and the front-end of a westbound Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck occupied by a 41-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman.
Simmons reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. The two people from the pickup truck suffered minor injuries, as well, according to reports. Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to accidents between two vehicles where one of the vehicles was attempting a left turn, most people are quick to point the finger at the driver of the turning vehicle. I’ve been in this line of business for over thirty years, though. In that time, I’ve seen plenty of similar cases in which evidence of less likely causes ended up being unearthed by the investigation. It’s because of that that I am generally slow to jump to conclusions, no matter how things appear on the surface.
To be clear, I’m not insinuating that I know more about this specific accident than anyone else outside of the investigation. As far as I know, driver error—whether it was caused by distraction, fatigue, impairment, or something else entirely—has yet to be ruled out. However, I would like to suggest a hypothetical. A quick search on Google Maps will show you that this intersection is controlled by a traffic signal. What if the light gave contradicting signals to the drivers, leading to the collision within the intersection? Traffic signals, while excellent tools, are not infallible.
Hopefully, the authorities are being thorough and openminded in their investigation. If it appears that their work is shortsighted, then a third party investigation can always be brought in. It never hurts to have a second perspective take a look at things in order to ensure that nothing important falls through the cracks. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve a clear and detailed understanding as to how and why it occurred. Surface-level investigation simply can not provide that kind of clarity.
