Early in the morning on September 20th, a father
and his three young children were struck by a Ford pickup that smashed into the
bus stop where the family was waiting. The accident occurred around 5:30 a.m.
on Friday morning, on North Lamb Boulevard, just north of East Bonanza Road.
The three children, ages 2, 4, and 5, were intubated at the scene before being
transported to the hospital in critical condition.
According to Metro Police, the accident was the result of a
collision between the Ford pickup and a Dodge pickup. The Ford was traveling
north on Lamb Boulevard when the back passenger side of the vehicle was struck
by the Dodge pickup, which was traveling west down Bonanza Road. The impact of
the collision caused the Ford to swerve and hit the Regional Transportation
Commission bus stop north of the Lamb intersection.
Neither of the drivers was injured in the accident, and both
claimed that they had a green light and the right of way. Metro Police were
seeking video form nearby businesses to determine which driver had a green
light and which driver was responsible for the collision. The negligent driver
who ran the light and caused the accident could be held liable for the family’s
losses and injuries under personal injury law.
When motorists drive recklessly or allow themselves to become
distracted behind the wheel, they could be held legally responsible for any harm
and financial damage they cause to innocent victims. Negligent driving can
result in severe and even fatal injuries to other motorists and pedestrians,
and victims may be entitled to generous compensation.
If you or your family
has been harmed in a motor vehicle or pedestrian accident that was caused by
the negligence of another driver, it is important to understand your rights and
