UPDATE: Jerry White Killed in Car Accident in Crittenden County, Arkansas


CRITTENDEN COUNTY, AR — A single-vehicle accident left one man dead and two injured in Little Rock, Arkansas on Friday, April 18th, 2014, according to a news article from FOX-16.

Arkansas State Police representatives have said that they believe 57-year-old Jerry White was killed when the Nissan Xterra he was driving drifted off the road and rolled over the median while driving on Interstate 40.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

Jerry White was killed in the accident, while two other people were ejected from the crash and sustained unspecified injuries.

The accident was reported around 3:00 in the mroning.

The investigation into the accident is being handled by officials from both local and state agencies.

Commentary:

Whenever I see the details of a single-vehicle crash, I always stress the need to have the vehicle investigated. People have no clue how many accidents that have come across my desk that are in no way the fault of the driver, but the result of a vehicle failure or malfunction. If authorities find that a part failed, the manufacturer of the part may be at least partially liable for the accident. If a design flaw in the vehicle itself made the accident worse than it would have been had the vehicle functioned normally, the vehicle manufacturer may bear the liability. Either way, a serious look at the vehicle is necessary for the most complete picture of the accident.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
