Montgomery County, Texas SUV Crash Kills 1
When a call is made to emergency services, responding crews may not know exactly what to expect as they travel to help. An accident can range in severity, and the scene can also look anywhere from minor to gruesome. A fatal car accident may at times be difficult to work, but the situation must be attended to directly by the crews, and the family of the victim is often left to deal with the aftermath.
A fatal accident recently took place in Texas that left two vehicles crushed. The incident reportedly took place when an SUV was hit in the rear by a pickup truck that was speeding. The SUV flipped and landed on its top. The pickup truck apparently continued traveling for a short distance, then crashed into a pole.
When emergency crews arrived on the scene, they found four individuals in the SUV. A woman in the backseat of the SUV suffered fatal injuries from the accident. The other three occupants also suffered injuries and were taken to the hospital where they were treated and then discharged. At this time, the driver of the pickup truck is facing several charges, including intoxication manslaughter, aggravated assault and others.
A Texas Car Accident Attorney can Help Win Financial Compensation
The family involved in the fatal car accident will likely feel the repercussions of the event for some time. Losing a loved one so suddenly in such a serious accident can be difficult to face, and the additional duties of making funeral arrangements can also take their toll. As a result, the family may wish to learn about wrongful death claims in Texas to assess their situation and determine whether they may wish to file a claim to seek reparations for their loss and other damages.
