The Odessa Police Department is conducting an investigation regarding a car accident on 56th Street last Friday.
Just before 12:00 midnight, local officers responded to 56th Street near Faudree Road in reference to a four-vehicle crash. According to initial reports, a white Ford Mustang was seen traveling along the eastbound lane of 56th when it failed to stop at a red signal and collided with a brown GMC Sierra, red Ford F-150, and a white Chevrolet Tahoe.
The operator of Ford Mustang, identified as Kimberly Rodriguez, 27 years of age, suffered from life-threatening injuries. She was rushed to Medical Center Hospital for further care. The drivers of the other vehicles were also taken to the same hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Their identification has not been disclosed at this time.
No charges have been filed as the investigation is still underway.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of the injured victims. We pray for their full recovery as we hope that the Odessa Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Injuries caused by vehicle collisions can vary from crash to crash. Some injuries may heal within a span of days while others could paralyze a victim’s body for a month. The most commonly known car accident injuries include neck and chest and head and back injuries. Broken and ligament damages are also quite common.
Sometimes, a car accident can cause serious injuries to multiple parties—and filing a claim can get complicated. To make sure your claim is successful, you need to gather supporting evidence and documents that can back up your claim. It could be a detailed account of the accident you are involved in or documents indicating the extent of injuries you sustained. These may include a video or photograph of the scene, police reports, and medical records, to name a few.
