UPSHUR COUNTY, TX –A car accident claimed the lives of two people in Upshur County, Texas on Thursday, July 17th, 2014, according to the news report released by KLTV.
Investigators think that Brody Stuart was killed when the vehicle he was driving is believed to have been struck by a vehicle that hydroplaned while driving on Highway 154 around 8:00 Thursday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Brody Stuart was taken by EMS personnel to a nearby hospital where he died a short time later. Another passenger in Stuarts vehicle was identified as Haley Blackstone, who was seriously injured in the crash.
The Upshur County Sheriff’s Department is helping with the crash investigation at this time, and hope to release more information soon.
Commentary:
Details about this accident in the news are pretty thin, but there is one common thread in the reports that I see that raises an eyebrow. The fact that the other driver hydroplaned in wet roads could mean that they were driving too fast for conditions, which could mean they could be liable for the accident, but again, this depends on how the final report looks.
