Common factors include misjudged turns, following too closely, distraction, or one driver failing to yield. Investigators have not released a cause for this crash.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Llano, CA
If you're involved in a crash on a highway like SR-138, try to move your vehicle to the shoulder if it's safe to do so and turn on hazard lights. Check yourself and any passengers for injuries before stepping out into traffic. Even if you feel fine, it's worth getting checked by a medical provider, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away. Call the California Highway Patrol or local law enforcement to file a report, and exchange information with the other driver if you're able. Take photos of the vehicles and surroundings if you can do so safely. Keep a copy of any official report for your records.
