10-year-old boy and mother from Ennis injured in car accident
On March 25, 2009 a 10-year-old boy was impaled by a crowbar in an automobile accident. The accident occurred at approximately 4:40 p.m. at the intersection of highway highway 28t and highway 34 in Ennis, TX as the young boy and several members of his family were traveling in a Ford Ranger pickup truck and were rear-ended by another vehicle. Upon impact, a crowbar that was in the bed of the truck was forced through the cabin where it pierced through the child's lower back and leg. The crowbar continued forward piercing the rear of the front passenger side side, puncturing the child's 38-year-old mother in her back.
Rescue workers worked for more than an hour to free the boy from the truck before transporting him to Medical City Children's Hospital, with part of the crowbar still in his body. The child's mother was taken to Parkland Hospital for treatment. Miraculously, both of the victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to recover.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.

In my point of view the most common causes of truck accidents are: 1. Negligent driving and negligent hiring. A trucking company may be liable, not only for the unsafe operation of the truck by its driver, but also for the failure to hire safe drivers. 2.Overloaded trucks and unsecured loads. Fatal and serious injuries can occur when commercial trucks are overloaded or the loads are improperly secured, pursuant to state, federal, and industry standards. 3.Truck driver fatigue. Driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of truck accidents.
