Harmony, TX — Police have identified Brody Stewart as one of two victims killed in an accident on Highway 154 outside of Harmony, Texas, on Thursday, July 17, 2014.
According to reports, Brody Stewart was the driver of a Ford Mustang traveling west along 154 when a Mitsubishi Eclipse traveling in the opposite direction hydroplaned and spun out, colliding with Stewart’s Mustang.
Emergency workers took Stewart to East Texas Medical Center in critical condition. Before doctors could operate, they found that Stewart was bleeding internally and weren’t able to stop it. He died a short time later.
Haley Blackstone was a passenger in the Mustang and suffered a broken arm. According to reports, she has already been released from the hospital.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
Reports say that the vehicle that hit the victim hydroplaned. Immediately I’m asking if the driver of that car was driving at a safe speed. Theoretically, I think people understand that when a road is wet, it’s slick, but I don’t think they understand just how slick roads can be, or how much trouble they’re flirting when they drive at unsafe speeds during or after a shower. It’s very possible the vehicle’s speed had something to do with this accident. If that’s the case, it’s possible the driver could be ticketed for reckless driving, or even be found liable for the accident.
