A bill designed to reduce deadly wrong-way freeway accidents has been passed by the Assembly.
The bill, Assembly Bill 162 by Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez, D-Montclair, was unanimously passed this week.
AB 162 directs Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol to update a 1989 study on the subject by taking into consideration technological advances and innovations over the last 26 years. They must submit the updated report to the Legislature by Jan., 1, 1917
Rodriguez cited the deadly accident in February 1914 in Diamond Bar in which a suspected drunken driver driving in the wrong direction on the 60 Freewayt caused an accident that killed six people.
A news release by Rodriguez’s office said there have been 1,500 wrong-way crashes since 2001 causing 270 deaths and nearly 1,700 injuries.
