UPDATE: Aaron Osborn Killed in Car Accident on Loop 289 in Lubbock, Texas


LUBBOCK, TX — One person has been killed after a crash in Lubbock, Texas on Sunday, May 18th, 2014, according to a report from My Fox Lubbock.

Police have said that they have reason to believe that 22-year-old Aaron Osborn was killed when the car he was a passenger in crashed into another vehicle while changing lanes on Loop 289.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

Aaron Osborn was pronounced dead on the scene after he was ejected from the vehicle in the crash.

The driver of the vehicle was identified in the report as Scott Bednorz, who was taken to a nearby hospital after the accident.

Texas State Police are still handling the accident investigation.

Commentary:

I’d be inclined to believe that the driver of the first vehicle could be facing liability in the accident. What makes me think this? Simply put, any time a person gets into a car as a passenger, they have entered into a contract with the driver. The contract essentially states that they will drive in a safe manner, and will not drive in a way that will harm the you, themselves, or anybody else on the road. If the driver failed to check his mirrors before changing lanes, they have violated this contract and could be liable for 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.
