HOUSTON, TX — A child has died after a chain-reaction accident involving a tractor-trailer that happened in Houston, Texas on Friday, April 25th, 2014, according to the news report from KTRK.
Authorities have said that they believe a child was killed, a pregnant woman and another child were hurt when a tractor-trailer and three other vehicles collided for reasons currently unclear to accident investigators while driving on Highway 290 around 5:40 Friday evening.
Scene of the Accident
One child was pronounced dead on the scene while several other motorists were taken to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries.
The investigation is being handled by officials from the Houston Police Department.
Commentary:
Accidents where multiple vehicles are involved can be difficult to manage, and even harder to determine who is responsible. Comparative fault is a method devised to determine the degree of liability each person is responsible for after an accident, which can be especially helpful in cases where multiple vehicles have collided, and details can become muddled in the ensuing investigation. Many people do not understand that even if they are found to be partially at fault for an accident, they may still be owed damages or reparations, which is why these types of accidents are always worth a closer look to all those involved.
