A three-year-old passenger was sent to a hospital following a car crash on Nacogdoches Road, last Saturday night.
According to initial reports, a vehicle was travelling along Nacogdoches when a black pickup truck suddenly went into its path, resulting in a collision. The first vehicle tried to avoid the collision but it ended up crashing into a pole. The force of the impact was so great that it trapped the driver and her passenger inside. Local paramedics used the Jaws of Life to extricate both occupants from the wreckage. They were identified as mother and child.
Both victims were rushed to University Hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries was not immediately released.
No charges have been filed as the investigation is still in progress.
We pray for a speedy recovery of those who are injured.
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.
