Head-on Roadway Departure Crash

A recent Tennessee roadway departure crash differs in one important respect than most of those that I have dealt with over the years. As an experienced Tennessee auto accident attorney when a vehicle goes out of control and crosses a divided highway the crashes that follow are almost always immediate. Usually it’s just some poor unlucky victim in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Reference a recent multi-victim fatal accident in Johnson City Tennessee the other day in which a 31-year-old woman in a small pickup truck left the southbound lane, crossed the median and gained control heading the opposite direction in the northbound lane. She continued driving in the wrong direction until she hit a Nissan head-on killing both the driver and his passenger.

What is one to think? Did she have a medical emergency? Had she been rendered unconscious by the trip across the median? As an experienced Nashville personal injury lawyer with a couple of decades of experience, my bet would be that she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any inside information, nor have I been in contact with the investigating officer, but from media reports I would opine that the autopsy reports will prove me right on this one.

If you or a loved one is injured or killed in a Tennessee auto accident caused by an impaired driver you owe it to yourself to contact an experienced Nashville auto accident lawyer like those at Phillip Miller & Associates, and find out about your rights and remedies.

Another Tennessee roadway departure crash takes the life of a Bristol, Tennessee woman on Friday.

Roadway Departure Crash Epidemic

The facts of this case are identical to those of dozens of fatal Tennessee automobile accidents that occurred over the past two weeks. A Tennessee driver tooling along a highway and for no apparent reason drives off one side of the road or the other, and overcorrects and leaves the road, hits something that doesn’t move, and if they happen to be not wearing their seatbelt like this particular Bristol driver, they die.
