One Killed in Car Accident on FM 2208 in Harrison County, Texas


HARRISON COUNTY, TX — A head-on accident left one driver dead in Harrison County, Texas on Saturday, July 19th, 2014, according to the news report from KLTV.

Police say that they have reason to believe one person was killed when a pickup truck and a white car collided head-on for reasons currently under investigation while driving on FM 2208 around 9:00 Saturday morning. One of the vehicles burst into flames following the accident.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

One person was killed in the crash. It is not clear if any other injuries were sustained in the accident by the drivers or occupants of the other vehicle.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is assisting Harrison County officials with the crash investigation.

Commentary:

Modern cars on today’s roads are generally speaking built from the ground up with safety and crash survivability in mind, so whenever a car bursts into flames after an accident, its a safe bet to say something probably very serious went wrong. Luckily though, the science of tracing fires has been refined quite a bit over the years, and a trained accident investigator can trace the origin of a fire by following its path to the source. If the source turns out to be a faulty party, or the result of poor design, the manufacturer could bear some of the liability in this accident for their substandard design.

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.
