The Dallas Police Department is still conducting an investigation about an apparent car accident on Interstate 30 last Sunday.
Early Sunday morning, local emergency crews received several calls reporting an abandoned woman on the shoulder of the 2400 block of the eastbound highway, near the ramp to U.S. According reports, the woman was lying on the ground with serious injuries. She was rushed to Baylor University Medical Center where she later succumbed to her injuries at around 1:30 a.m.
Local authorities identified the victim as Candace Ramirez. Doctors said that her injuries were consistent with those suffered in a car crash.
No further details were released as the car accident remains under investigation. Anyone who has relevant information about the incident is encouraged to come forward.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the deceased victims.
Car collisions are extremely prevalent in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, one person is getting injured in approximately two minutes. Unfortunately, despite the government’s aggressive efforts to educate drivers about safety, the cases of speeding, driving under the influence, and negligence are still on the rise. In fact, most of the common causes of accidents in the state are due to the driver’s lack of awareness and precaution.
Knowing the statistics helps us to be more aware of how our choices can affect other people’s lives. For instance, driving while under the influence of alcohol and illegal drugs dramatically increases your risk of being involved in a crash by roughly 16% and 24%, respectively. While these cases are extremely dangerous, these can be prevented by making the right decisions. So before hitting the road, know that car accidents leave scars and trauma that can be devastating for the victims. For this reason, it is important that you take all the necessary precautions to avoid it.
