One person was sent to a hospital after a motorcycle versus car collision on State Highway 35 last Sunday.
In an unspecified time in the morning, Corpus Christi local troopers were dispatched to Mile Marker 652 on Highway 35 to assist in a crash. According to initial reports, a sport utility vehicle was heading north on the highway when it veered onto the opposing lanes where it collided with a motorcycle traveling along the southbound lanes. A preliminary investigation shows that the SUV was attempting to pass a vehicle when the accident took place.
The motorcyclist, whose name has yet to be released, was transported to Christus Spohn Shoreline and is in critical, but stable condition, according to state troopers. The SUV driver was not hurt.
No citations have been made as the investigation is still underway.
We are deeply saddened for the family and loved ones of the injured victim. Our prayers and thoughts are with them. We strongly believe that the Corpus Christi Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
Texas is among the states in the US that have the most car accidents which involved injuries and fatalities every year. Some of the common factors contributing to the rising cases of collisions in the area include the worsening traffic situation, weather conditions, and poor driving habits.
Bad driving habits are the greatest cause of a fatal crash. It can be lethal to the person behind the wheel, as well as the drivers on the road. Drivers who do not use their signal to change lanes or those who do not secure their blind spots before shifting direction are more likely to be involved in an accident. Some of the most dangerous driving habits include speeding, unsafe lane change, tailgating, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you or someone you love has been a victim of a car accident with a negligent driver, you have a right to fair compensation for the trauma you experienced and the injuries you have suffered.
