OAK CLIFF, TX — One person was killed in a single-vehicle accident that happened in Oak Cliff, Texas on Friday, May 9th, 2014, according to My Fox DFW.
Police familiar with details of the crash have said that they believe one person was killed when the car they were driving skidded off the road and crashed into New Mount Olive Baptist Church while driving on Cedardale Road on Friday afternoon.
Scene of the Accident
The driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead on the scene. It is not immediately specified if there were any other injuries in the accident, or if they were alone in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
Authorities from the Dallas Police Department are currently investigating the accident.
Commentary:
Any time I show somebody a single-vehicle accident, they are all-too-fast to blame the driver. While this may be a safe bet, it is by no means the only angle to look at, and it certainly isnt subjective. Look at any car in a crowded mall parking lot on the weekend. What are the odds that the one you picked out to look at was fresh off the lot without a single mechanical problem, or worn out part. These odds would be slim to none. Now that we have established that mechanical errors are common in vehicles, is it really outside the realm of possibility that one of these errors could have caused the accident? If this turns out to be what happened, the manufacturer could be held accountable for the crash.
