Golfer Seriously Injured After Being Ejected in Highway 168 Crash

Fresno County, CA – April 2026 | Ayuda California News

A man was seriously injured after being ejected from his vehicle in a car accident on Highway 168 in Fresno County, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

What Happened

According to the preliminary investigation:

  • The driver was traveling on Highway 168
  • For reasons still under investigation, he lost control of the vehicle
  • The car left the roadway
  • The driver was ejected during the crash

The victim, identified as a local golfer, suffered serious injuries, including eye damage, and was transported to a hospital for medical treatment.

Vehicle Ejection: One of the Most Dangerous Factors

Being ejected from a vehicle significantly increases the risk of:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Permanent eye damage
  • Multiple fractures
  • Long-term disability

In many cases, ejection is associated with failure to wear a seatbelt (CVC § 27315).

Legal Perspective: What Is Analyzed in These Cases

Even in single-vehicle crashes, investigations may go beyond driver error.

Possible Factors

  • Unsafe speed (CVC § 22350)
  • Loss of vehicle control
  • Roadway conditions
  • Dangerous road design

Third-Party Liability

If hazardous conditions existed—such as poorly marked curves or a lack of barriers—a public entity may be liable under Government Code § 835.

Rights of the Victim

A person with serious injuries may be entitled to compensation for:

✔️ Current and future medical expenses
✔️ Specialized surgeries (including eye injuries)
✔️ Rehabilitation and therapy
✔️ Lost income
✔️ Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life

In cases involving head or vision injuries, compensation is often higher due to the permanent impact.
