Kentucky news reports state that a newly wedded couple were on their way to their wedding reception in a convertible when a Lexington Kentucky police car ran a red light and crashed into their vehicle. The car crash caused the bride to be ejected from the car. Witnesses to the auto accident state that the police car never hit its breaks prior to the collision and clearly ran the red light. A total of five people were taken to the hospital in relation to this car accident. Clearly the driver of the police cruiser should be found to be at fault, and the injured persons will be able to make claims for their medical costs, injures, pain & suffering, and lost wages, that are related to this accident.

An automobile accident occurred Thursday around 5:30 p.m. in Louisville, Kentucky at the intersection of Southern Parkway and New Cut Road. The car wreck occurred near Iroquois Park. Witnesses reported that a blue Toyota Matrix was traveling south on Southern Parkway at a high rate of speed and ran through a red light. The Toyota then hit two other cars that were traveling northbound on New Cut Road. The cars on New Cut Road had a green traffic light and the right-a-way through the intersection. The cars hit by the Toyota were a Chrysler Sebring and a Dodge Stratus. The driver of the Chrysler Sebring was died at the scene of the accident. The passenger of the Chrysler and three others were taken to University of Louisville Hospital with serious injures.

This is a car wreck that is clearly the fault of the driver of the Toyota Matrix. The family of the driver of the Chrysler will have a wrongful death claim from this accident. The passenger from the Chrysler and the other three injured persons will have personal injury claims against the driver of the Toyota. Even if a person injured was a passenger in the Toyota, they will still have a claim against its driver, as the driver was the one in control of the vehicle and is the negligent at fault party for this terrible wreck. Damages from this accident, which will stem from legal claims against the driver of the Toyota will vary depending upon the circumstances, but all parties should be entitled to their medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, and with regards to the death of the driver of the Chrysler, the family will have a claim of a lifetime of lost earning capacity and potential loss of consortium claims.

A car wreck has caused the death of one woman and hospitalized another after the vehicle of a 44 year old woman from Freeport, Illinois crossed over the center line of the road and struck a red Ford Explorer of a 50 year old woman. The 44 year old, who was driving a Kia Optima, was killed in the accident, and the woman driving the Ford explore was taken to University of Louisville Hospital for her injures.

It is still unclear what caused the Illinois woman to allow her car to drift into the lane of oncoming traffic, and witnesses state that they tried to alert the woman of her driving error just prior to the accident occurring. The car crash occurred on Manslick Road and Third Street. According to the initial reports, this accident is the fault of the Illinois woman, who should be responsible under Kentucky law to compensate the driver of the Ford Explorer for her medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering.

It has been reported that a car accident on Highway 356 in Harrison County, Kentucky has resulted in the hospitalization of a couple from Sadieville. The couple were traveling eastbound on Hwy 356 when a man driving a truck westbound reached down to pick something up off the floor of his truck. When the truck’s driver looked back at the road, he had drifted into the lane of oncoming traffic and struck the Sadieville couple’s vehicle head-on. The truck’s driver was not seriously injured, but the couple were injured and airlifted to UK Hospital.

This accident appears to be a clear case of driver inattentiveness. When on takes their eyes and attention from the road, while driving, terrible accidents can happen. Many drivers take for granted the severity of even brief moments of not paying 100% attention to their driving. In this case, the injured couple have paid a severe price for the other driver’s momentary lapse in his responsibilities.

Her car struck another vehicle driven by Billy White. Mr. White was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. A juvenile was also injured in this accident.
