The following excerpt is from Salas v. California Dep't of Transp., C063434, Super. Ct. No. CV034313 (Cal. App. 2011):
While there must be substantial similarity to offer other accident evidence for any purpose, a stricter degree of substantial similarity is required when other accident evidence is offered to show a dangerous condition; "'the other accident must be connected in some way with that thing.'" (Sambrano v. City of San Diego (2001) 94 Cal.App.4th 225, 237 (Sambrano).)
