A 24-year-old California man was killed in a crash in the North San Francisco Bay Area when his vehicle collided with a guardrail system that has been blamed for injuries and deaths throughout the United States.

At this time, it is unknown why the man crashed into the guardrail. What is known is that experts believe he may have survived if it were not for the type of guardrail he struck.

According to a guardrail maker that sued Trinity Industries, the maker of the product that is under fire in many states, the man should have survived.

The ET-Plus guardrail system is not banned in California, however, 39 other states have taken action. Rather than acting as it should in the event of an accident, the ET-Plus system has the potential to send the guardrail beam through the vehicle.

Federal authorities are requiring Trinity Industries to submit the guardrail to additional crash safety testing.

This is yet another story of a person who may have survived an accident if the ET-Plus guardrail system had done its job.

In the event that a person is injured or killed in such an accident, the end result is often times a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
