The succession of events leading up to a car accident can often become muddled and confused to victims. A crash can happen in what seems like an instance — victims may be simply enjoying music, caught in the hypnotic rhythm of highway traffic, when the next thing they know, there is a loud sound followed by a loss of consciousness. The next memory victims may recollect is the sight of a team of first responders rescuing them from their vehicles. While they may not be able to remember what caused the accident, victims can still keep track of their injuries, medical expenses and damages. This information may prove useful, if they decide to pursue compensation.
One of the more dangerous types of accidents are those that result in rollovers. When an SUV or truck is struck by another vehicle, there is always a chance that a rollover will ensue. Rollovers often trap drivers and passengers in their vehicles, requiring firefighters to extract them. This can be very dangerous and it is not uncommon for the outcome of these accidents to include injuries or fatalities.
All it takes is one error for a large-scale multi-vehicle accident to occur. Chain-reaction crashes are oftentimes devastating affairs that involve many different vehicles and can have far-reaching effects. Sometimes, the error that sets off a chain-reaction crash is done without fault; other times, though, the error may be the result of driver negligence. When this is the case, the negligent driver may be liable for the damages in the crash.
Auto accidents sometimes end up involving several vehicles. This can be seen in a motor vehicle crash which occurred here in Massachusetts earlier this week.
A 77-year-old woman from Boston was recently killed at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave. and Orvis Road in East Arlington. The driver of the car that struck the woman was ticketed for driving without a license and for failing to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
It appears that wintry weather may have been responsible for a motor vehicle crash involving 65 different vehicles. This would have included 61 cars, two tractor-trailer trucks and two six-wheel trucks.
A Massachusetts man has been charged with causing the death of a 35-year-old teacher following a hit and run accident. Car accidents around the country claim lives everyday, and this woman is now another tragic victim. The man who has been charged in connection with this fatal accident is reported to have a list of prior convictions, some of which were in connection with the operation of a vehicle.
A tragic accident ensued last month, killing a 47-year-old man and injuring a woman. Authorities are still working to determine the cause of the accident. As more fatal car accidents occur on our roadways, Massachusetts officials are likely to conduct more comprehensive investigations, such as this one.
A woman and her daughter have been killed in a crash. Drunk driving has been the cause of many auto accidents across the country and in Massachusetts. A police officer, who was involved in the crash, is facing charges of drunk driving.
A school bus ride turned into a trip to the hospital after a crash on the way home. The collision resulted in multiple car accidents and several injuries. The Massachusetts school bus has been impounded pending an investigation after the bus rear-ended a vehicle at a red light. No citations have been issued at this time.
