San Antonio, TX — A woman who was being taken to the hospital after being involved in an accident was killed in a second accident on Friday, June 13, 2014.
The ambulance was making a turn at a red light when Helen Madigan, who failed to stop, crashed into the vehicle’s side. She was not wearing a seat belt and suffered critical injuries. Emergency workers took her to University Hospital.
Authorities are working to discover what role the second accident played in Lucear’s death, if any.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Officials are still working to determine if the second accident contributed in any meaningful way to the victim’s death. It’s possible that the victim’s injuries from the first accident were just too severe, and there was nothing doctors were going to be able to do for her had she made it to the hospital. However, that wouldn’t absolve the driver who crashed into the ambulance of any wrongdoing here. She still ran a red light. She still crashed into an ambulance. She still caused damaged. Regardless of what the effects of the accident were, she still needs to be held accountable. The only question that matters is what is she being held accountable for?
