Motor vehicle accidents: 3 injured, 1 killed in recent crash

One person was killed and three others suffered severe injuries in a recent collision that took place at an intersection in West Virginia. Motor vehicle accidents that take place when drivers fail to yield the right of way in an intersection run the unfortunate risk of having disastrous outcomes. Such accidents also run a greater risk of leaving those involved facing a long road to recovery or leaving family members mourning over a sudden and unexpected loss.

Authorities have advised that the accident took place just after noon on a recent Sunday. According to reports, it occurred when the driver of a truck failed to yield the right of way to an eastbound vehicle upon crossing into an intersection. The two vehicles collided shortly thereafter and the drivers of both vehicles were reportedly ejected from their vehicles in the process.

The driver of the truck was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Police also advised that the driver of the other vehicle and two others suffered injuries and all three were airlifted to a hospital for medical treatment. While an investigation into the crash is underway, no further information was provided as to what might have caused the driver of the truck to fail to yield right of way.

Motor vehicle accidents involving a failure to yield can have devastating results. Those who suffer serious harm or loss due to such negligence may wish to exercise their right to pursue accountability in civil court, and they could choose to speak with an attorney in West Virginia for guidance in the process. An attorney can examine the circumstances a client is facing and assist in pursuing the full amount of restitution entitled through a claim against the party deemed at fault.
