Authorities have said that they have reason to believe Morgan Crockett was killed when the vehicle he was in was struck head-on by a vehicle that crossed unexpectedly into the lanes of oncoming traffic while driving on Pruetts Chapel Road.

Morgan Crockett was killed in the crash, while John Dacus was injured and taken to a nearby hospital.

Officials from the Arkansas State Police are investigating the accident.

Commentary:

Based on my history researching and handling these kinds of accidents, I’d be willing to venture that comparative fault or contributory negligence is going to become a factor in the proceedings after the crash. This is a system that was devised in order to make it easier on investigators, and victims that tend to be locked in a he-said-she-said scenario. Essentially, a judge or jury is presented with both the evidence and arguments from both parties before doing their best to allocate fault to the proper parties. This is where an independent investigator can shift the balance of a case, because by adding evidence and information of your own, you are actively working to create a more complete picture of the incident, leading to a closer approximation of the truth.

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.
