A recent crash involving two vehicles resulted in the injury of one driver and the death of another. The crash occurred when the driver of the first vehicle failed to yield to oncoming traffic while turning left onto a highway. Another car traveling in the opposite direction struck the first vehicle as it crossed over opposing lanes of traffic.
When police arrived, they pronounced the driver of the first vehicle died at the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The second driver survived but was injured in the crash. Her injuries were treated at the scene. The crash is still under investigation by local authorities.
If the first driver had yielded to oncoming traffic, then this car accident might have been avoided entirely, and if he had been wearing a seatbelt, he might have survived the crash. Unfortunately, the accident did occur, and not only was one person killed but another now has unexpected medical costs. Victims of car accidents in Georgia could benefit from speaking with an attorney. Lawyers may be able to help victims receive compensation for medical expenses, property damage, or funeral costs, when applicable.
