KILLEEN, TX — A head-on accident left one driver dead and sent two people to the hospital in Killeen, Texas on Saturday, July 19th, 2014, according to the news article released by KWTX.
Police say that they have reason to believe Troy Taylor was killed when the car he was driving is believed to have turned into the path of another vehicle while driving through the intersection of WS Young Drive and Veterans Memorial Boulevard around 4:15 Saturday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Troy Taylor was killed in the accident, although it is not clear if he died at the scene, or at a nearby hospital. Two other people were rushed to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries.
Officials from both local and state agencies are currently investigating the collision.
Commentary:
Just based on a single news article, I see a number of avenues this investigation could go. First and foremost, I’d be interested to see which one of the vehicles involved in the crash had the right-of-way at the intersection. If one of the drivers failed to yield to the right-of-way, that driver would probably bear some fault in the accident. On the other hand, judging by the time of the accident, even though it is not mentioned in the news, I’d be interested to see what role, if any, alcohol played in the crash. If this turns out to be alcohol related, there could be a claim against the bar the driver left before the crash.
