Elderly Man and Child Killed In Tractor-Trailer Accident
A mysterious yet tragic tractor-trailer car accident in Sequatchie County claims the life of a man and his three-year old passenger. According to an article on the website of WRCB TV in Chattanooga Wayne Seals, 71, was driving on State Highway 111 when the Ford Taurus he was driving drove up under a tractor-trailer hauling logs. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The tractor-trailer driver was not injured. The THP reported that no drugs or alcohol was involved in the collision.
My sympathy and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims of this terrible tragedy. We can only guess what happened that caused the driver to end up under the tractor-trailer. As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney several things come to mind; did Mr. Seals have a medical emergency that caused him to lose control of the vehicle? Was he distracted? I think back on my own experience having my nieces and nephews in the car with me, and how we talked, laughed and sang songs, and I thank God that we were not involved in a collision.
The lesson here for all of us is that you never know when tragedy will strike and when we get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle we must always have our focus on the road ahead.
