A ten-year old boy was killed in three-car accident that sent his mother to the hospital in critical condition.
The accident occurred Sunday night around 8pm on Canyon Road. Police say that an SUV crossed the center line and side-swiped a Toyota Prius and then collided with an Acura sedan.
The ten-year old was in the Acura and died on the scene. All the occupants which included the deceased boy, his 15 year old brother and mother had to be extricated from the vehicle. The 15 year-old was taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises, but his mother was listed in critical condition.
The impact of the crash sheared off the left front wheel of the SUV. When police arrived all the occupants of the SUV were outside the vehicle and did not help authorities identify the driver. They eventually cooperated and police determined that the driver was intoxicated. She was later arrested and charged.
Only the occupants of the Acura were injured.
An accident attorney would not have any trouble assigning fault in this accident. Driving while intoxicated shows clear negligence and the driver can be held responsible for their actions. With the help of an accident attorney the victims of these tragedies will be able to seek a sense of justice for the pain they must endure.
An accident lawyer will make certain the victims and their families are awarded just compensation.
