While many people enjoy driving, there are many others who do not think of it as an exciting activity. Of course, unexpected events on the road can happen at any time, including fatal car accidents. In some cases, those accidents are caused by drivers who fail to stay in the correct lane.
It was recently reported that a crash in Louisiana had fatal outcomes. The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. when the driver of a large SUV crossed into the opposite lane of travel. The SUV was traveling south when it collided with a northbound car. The driver of the SUV was reported as being 27 years old, and the driver of the car was reported as 28 years old.
The incident resulted in the car driver suffering fatal injuries. The SUV driver was seriously injured and transported from the scene to an area medical center. At the time of the report, it was unclear whether drugs or alcohol may have played a role as toxicology reports were still pending. It was noted that neither driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
Car accidents claim lives far too often. The family of the person killed in this Louisiana crash may have a long road ahead of them as they work through their grief and struggles resulting from the sudden loss. It may suit their circumstances to look into their legal options for seeking compensation for damages stemming from the incident from the driver considered at fault. A wrongful death claim could be warranted.
