"A father and daughter were killed Thursday when the station wagon they were riding in was hit by a pickup truck that ran a red light. The accident happened just after noon at the intersection of State Highway 130 and East Parmer Lane, in Northeast Austin. Nelson Taylor, 45, a Dell employee and his daughter, Andrea Taylor, 20, a music student at Huston-Tillotson University, were both killed. After the pickup truck driver ran the red light, his vehicle T-boned the smaller Subaru station wagon, a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper said.The driver of the pickup and its three passengers were examined at the scene. Their injuries were minor. The truck driver could be cited for running a red light. The DPS investigation into the crash continues, but they do not believe the incident was alcohol-related."

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
