Tucker Arnold Killed in Single-Vehicle Accident on 49th Street in Lubbock, Texas


Lubbock, TX — Police have identified Tucker Arnold as the man who was killed in a single-vehicle accident in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday, August 19, 2014. The accident took place in the 2000 block of 49th Street, around 2:30 in the morning.

According to reports, Arnold crashed into a light pole, causing a power outage before hitting a Ford F150 and a tree. He was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police aren’t sure what caused the accident. They’re currently investigating to see whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

Commentary

There are obviously a few questions that need to be answered before anyone’s able to chart a way forward here. I think we need to be realistic about what may have caused this accident. It’s possible the driver was using drugs at the time. Given the time of night, it’s also possible he was intoxicated. 2:30 in the morning, a lot of people are coming home from bars around that time. If the driver were at a bar and had been over-served, its possible that the bar could also be held liable. Don’t get me wrong. If the driver were drunk, that doesn’t change the fact that he made the decision to get behind the wheel. But if he were visibly intoxicated and the bar kept serving him, that would impair his ability to make rational decisions, meaning that the bar would have played a very real role in the accident that later killed him. If that turns out to be the case, then they should also be held responsible.

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.
