The Corpus Christi Police Department has released the name of the woman who died in a fatal motorcycle collision on South Padre Island Drive which took place last week.
According to reports, two people were riding a motorcycle near an intersection with SPID and Staples Street when it crashed into a vehicle after ignoring a red light at the eastbound intersection. The impact of the crash seriously injured the two riders and the 20-year-old driver of the car.
The riders, identified as Kendra Berru and Earl McMichael, 35, were taken to Corpus Christi Medical Center-Bay Area where they received treatment. Unfortunately, Berru had succumbed to his injuries last Saturday, according to the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The driver of the vehicle was also rushed to a hospital. His identification has not been released at this time.
Authorities are investigating the case.
We express our deepest condolences to the family and relatives of the deceased victim. May God grant you the strength you need to get through this difficult moment in your life. We strongly believe that authorities will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
We believe that when someone loses a loved one from a car accident, they do not only suffer emotionally but financially as well. If you or your loved one is a victim of a car accident caused by wrongful actions or due to negligence, you may have the right to file for legal claims. Most of the time, families who are left behind after a tragic loss are not aware of their rights and the legal processes needed to obtain fair and just compensation. In times like this, you would need a professional who can provide you with all the support you need as you go through this difficult time. Talk to your personal injury or car accident lawyer for assistance.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of the day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. So that is about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
