Police have said that they have reason to believe one person died when when a pickup truck struck a gold passenger car broadside for reasons currently under investigation while driving on Highway 281 on Monday afternoon.
Scene of the Accident
A passenger in the car was pronounced dead on the scene by emergency responders when they arrived. The driver of the pickup truck was taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries.
The Texas Department of Transportation is assisting with the accident investigation.
Commentary:
From what has been reported in the news article, this kind of collision is more than likely going to boil down to which one of the vehicles failed to yield to the right-of-way or ran the stop light or signal. While a moving violation is by no means an indicator of a open-and-shut case, when a brake failure could explain away the whole thing, but before any of this can be established, a trained investigator needs to get their hands on the facts.
