Dallas – Laniqua Pittman Died in Multi-Car Crash on Interstate 35E

The Dallas Police Department has identified the driver who died as a result of a vehicle collision on Interstate 35 near Medical District Drive last Sunday.

The fatality was identified as 40-year-old Laniqua Pittman.

Police said that Pittman was driving a GMC Terrain along the highway when it struck a Nissan Xterra disabled in the center lane. As the involved parties wait for assistance for clearing, a GMC Sierra was not able to slow down and crashed into the back of the Nissan.

Pittman suffered from serious injuries and was rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment. However, she was later pronounced deceased by medical personnel. Two occupants in the Nissan, identified only as a 3-year-old and 10-year-old, were slightly injured. They received medical assistance in the hospital.

An investigation to the crash is underway.

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.

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.
