Kendall County, TX — An woman, identified only as being in her late 2os, was killed in an accident with an 18-wheeler on Tuesday, July 8, 2014. The accident took place on U.S. 87, about nine miles north of Comfort, Texas.
The woman was driving an SUV that crashed into an 18-wheeler traveling in the oncoming lane of traffic. Reports say that the collision caused the SUV to burst into flames.
There’s been no word on the condition of the driver of the 18-wheeler. The accident is currently under investigation.

Commentary
There are too many unanswered questions here to really make any kind of determination on who’s at fault. Did one of the vehicles cross the line? Was one of the vehicles speeding? Were there any outside factors that could have contributed to the accident? The accident did happen late at night, so I would be interested to see how many hours the truck driver had been on the road when the accident occurred. Beyond that, I would recommend a private investigation be conducted. Police reports can be very unreliable in these situations, more concerned with finding out what happened rather than who’s liable. And no, those two things don’t necessarily have anything to do with each other.
