GARZA COUNTY, TX — A single-vehicle accident ejected the driver and left one person dead in Garza County, Texas on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014, according to the report from KTRE.

Police think that one person died when the white pickup truck they were driving is thought to have lost control while driving on FM 1313 around 2:15 Wednesday afternoon.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

The driver of the vehicle was ejected from the truck in the accident and was taken by helicopter to University Medical Center in Lubbock where he died a short time later.

The victim was alone in the truck, and no other injuries were reported at the scene.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is currently handing the accident investigation with Garza County police.

Commentary:

In any new car lot across the country, I’d be willing to bet I could crack open a brand new vehicle, and somewhere along the inner workings of the vehicle I’d be able to find some kind of mechanical problem. In a used vehicle, I’d be willing to bet the same thing, but the problems would simply be easier to find. If this truck suffered a mechanical problem of some kind that caused this accident, nobody has the X-ray vision to look into the wreckage and determine this just by inspecting the scene. A trained eye needs to have a look at the vehicle to see what may have happened.

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.
