Tennessee Seizure Victim Crashes Into A Beauty Salon Injuring Ten People
As our population ages we might expect to see more Tennessee automobile accidents caused by drivers who suffer medical emergencies while they are driving. Incidences of drivers who had crashes precipitated by their medical emergencies while driving are relatively rare and account for only 1.3 percent of all road fatalities.
Older Tennessee drivers have relatively higher incidences of crashes precipitated by drivers’ medical emergencies when compared to young and middle-age drivers. Drivers in crashes precipitated by medical emergencies were more likely than other drivers to be severely injured or to die as a result of the crash.
Reference a recent accident in Kingston Tennessee that occurred when a driver, who was having a seizure, plowed his van into a busy beauty salon seriously injuring at least 10 people.
As with most driving problems, education is the key to preventing fatal crashes. Patient education by health care providers on early warning signs of a health crisis, such as warning signs before seizure attacks diabetic or hypoglycemic comas and potential side effects of medications are recommended as the most effective countermeasure.
