Tennessee Auto Accident Lawyer Reports On A Distracted Driver Collision
Tennessee Head-On Collision
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney I can only guess what could have occurred in the last few seconds before a Greene County man, with his 3-year-old daughter as a passenger, crossed the centerline and slammed head-on into an oncoming car? The other car, driven by a 16-year-old with his 19-year-old friend as a passenger, was seriously damaged.
The 3-year-old was treated and released and her father is in critical condition. The 19-year-old received minor injuries and the condition of the 16-year-old driver’s condition is unknown.
Distraction from the primary task of driving could present a serious and potentially deadly danger. In 2008, 5,870 people lost their lives and an estimated 515,000 people were injured in police-reported crashes in which at least one form of driver distraction was reported on the crash report. While these numbers are signi!cant, they may not state the true size of the problem, since the identification of distraction and its role in the crash by law enforcement can be very difficult.
The lesson here for Tennessee drivers is that, no matter what is going on inside your vehicle, you must do everything to can to avoid being distracted and keep your mind and your eyes on the road
