Cousin of Modern Family Star Sarah Hyland Killed in Drunk Driving Crash

December 28, 2018/in /by damg20

Back at the beginning of December, NBC San Diego 7 reported on an auto accident that claimed the life of a 14-year-old. The teen, who happened to be the cousin of Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, was identified as Trevor Canaday and he was killed in a collision involving a drunk driver. The source said that Canaday and his father were hit by a motorist who allegedly had two prior DUI convictions.

After the incident occurred, Hyland took to Instagram where she posted a photo of Canandy with a caption that read “This is my 14-year-old cousin Trevor. Yesterday, he was killed by a drunk driver. My uncle is still in the hospital in need of more surgeries. Please swipe up to help.” Apparently, the intoxicated motorist who hit Hyland’s relatives did so at such a fast rate of speed that the impact ejected Canaday who was said to have been wearing his seatbelt. And based on Hyland’s social media post, the impact left her uncle severely injured requiring him to undergo several surgical procedures.

After the passing of Canady, his mother and sisters all set up a GoFundMe page in his name in an effort to collect money for funeral costs and medical expenses. The page, which was dedicated to Canaday and his father said, “Trevor was a funny, smart, innovative, athletic, goofy kid and he was so loved. His memory will live on in many ways. Please help us do this for the family now to help ease their suffering away from money to focus on healing emotionally.” As of Christmas Eve, the family had already raised $45,515 of their $40,000 goal.

Unfortunately, the December Holidays Aren’t Only a Time for Celebrating

The truth is, it isn’t rare to hear about fatal drunk driving accidents this time of year. In fact, the Christmas and New Year’s holiday are when a majority of drunk driving accidents tend to occur leaving innocent people severely or fatally injured. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2016, 781 people were killed in accidents involving drunk drivers in the month of December alone. And during the week between Christmas and New Year’s, an average of 300 people were killed in alcohol-related collisions over the past five years.

Therefore, if you lost someone recently to an auto accident in San Diego and are looking for a way to help their family or even yourself recover compensation for the medical bills, lost wages, etc. so that you can place your focus on recovering and not finances, contact San Diego, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey E.

Had an excellent experience with Jeff. He helped me through a personal injury case that I had where I was injured in a car accident. He did an excellent job preparing me for the trial and representing me. His professionalism is top notch and he's genuinely nice and easy to connect with. He was able to win the case for me and got a judgment much higher than I had even imagined which has been absolutely life changing. I would recommend him to everyone looking for services he provides.

I'm very pleased with my representation of Attorney Estes! He represented me in a profession manner, and was able to litigate my case out of court. I would totally recommend Attorney Estes should an accident be involved, especially caused by another person and they have done your bodily harm and totaled your vehicle.

Mr. Estes is both professional and down to earth. He took the time to explain things to me and was always there when I called. I am forever in debt to him for what he did for me winning my automobile accident lawsuit. The compassion that he showed for me made me feel like I was part of his family and I cannot say enough good things about him both as a human being and an attorney.
