The accident took place in the parking lot of a Stripes gas station at Falvel Drive and Spring Stuebner Road around 2:30 in the afternoon.

The passenger in the green said she believed the driver may have suffered a medical episode, which led to the crash. Police are continuing to investigate.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
It’s possible that the driver suffered a blackout or some other medical episode, which led to the accident. So we’ve got to ask, did the driver have any medical conditions which could have led to this happening? Anything he was aware of or anything that should have kept him out of the driver’s seat? Drivers aware of any conditions they suffer from that could potentially harm others out on the road have a duty to stay out of the driver’s seat. In any case, it does appear that the driver would be liable for the accident. Fortunately, it was much less worse than it could have been.
