As Texas roads become more congested, multi-vehicle and multi-stage cascading accidents become more frequent. Pearland, TX accident attorneys take a look at a recent West Texas highway accident for an example.
1. A dark green truck engaged in an illegal street race with a car on I-10 near El Paso.
2. The green truck tried to take the off ramp from I-10 onto Clint at over 80 mph.
3. The truck’s driver lost control, swerved off course, and the truck went off the ramp and back onto I-10 in a deadly rollover crash.
4. The driver and passenger, both not wearing seat belts, were ejected from the truck in the deadly rollover crash.
5. The driver died, and the injured passenger went to the hospital in critical condition.
6. Socorro PD and El Paso County Sheriffs closed off a stretch of I-10 because of the deadly rollover crash.
7. A drunken driver ignored the road closures.
8. The drunken driver hit a vehicle trying to merge onto the frontage road away from the road closure.
9. The drunken driver drove head-on into a parked police car at the scene.
10. A spokesman from the Socorro PD said that this was actually the second accident resulting from the road closure.
Texas roads have become so congested that apparently, one Texas highway accident just leads to another. Even first responders working an accident scene can become victims as a multi-vehicle, multi-stage accident cascades out of control. Street racing and drunk driving present huge problems in Texas, where they cause more than their share of deadly rollover crashes and other accidents.
If you become a victim, you’ll face burdensome financial consequences from the accident, as well as the painful physical and emotional consequences. Recovering fair financial compensation from an accident that someone else has caused can be an uphill battle.
