In a harrowing event earlier this month in Rancho Cucamonga, a 15-year-old boy was left paralyzed from the chest down following a severe collision. The accident involved a police pursuit suspect, believed to have been under the influence, which ended in a devastating impact with a ride-share vehicle.
On October 5th, Aadan Portillo and his friends were traveling in an Uber to In-N-Out Burger for a meal. Their journey took a tragic turn near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue when a white Nissan Altima, attempting to evade police capture, crashed into their vehicle.
"The car that the police were chasing hit the Uber right where my son was seated, in the rear passenger side," recounted Benjamin Portillo, Aadan's father. The collision's force was such that it caused significant injury to Aadan, necessitating immediate medical attention.
Captured footage of the aftermath displayed both vehicles in ruins, highlighting the crash's severity as emergency responders endeavored to provide urgent care to Aadan and transport him swiftly to the hospital for treatment.

Victims of accidents, especially those involving negligence or criminal activity, such as a police pursuit, may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, and other related damages.
