Frederick County Collision Kills Damascus Motorist

By injuheis on November 10, 2009

Maryland’s local NBC affiliate’s website, your4state.co, recently reported that a two-vehicle crash that took the life of a Damascus motorist is currently being investigated. The accident took place on Bill Moxley Road in Frederick County, and involved a 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier and a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica. Authorities believe the two vehicles struck each other as they were coming over a hill. Five people were injured in the crash, with only the driver of the Cavalier succumbing to his injuries. The other accident victims riding in the Cavalier, a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl, sustained injury and were taken to Baltimore Shock Trauma for treatment. The driver of the Corsica, a 51-year-old man, and his female passenger also sustained injury and were also taken to Baltimore Shock Trauma. The conditions of all individuals involved were not made public.

Although this accident is still being investigated, some sort of negligent action will undoubtedly emerge as having contributed towards its occurrence. That is, negligent action that can contribute towards an auto accident can take a variety of forms. Reckless driving is one of the primary causes of all auto accidents. Driving at speeds greater than posted limits, failing to abide to traffic signage and signals, and failure to yield the right of way to other vehicles are all ways in which negligent action can lead to an auto accident. However, negligent action on the part of local municipalities can also contribute towards an accident. Specifically, if roads are not properly maintained, potential hazards are not properly made known to motorists, or traffic signage is obscured or faded to the point that such signage is illegible and, thus cannot, be followed, then the likelihood of an accident occurring is greatly increased. Regardless of the situation though, it is always a good idea to retain the services of a skilled Maryland auto accident attorney in the event that you become involved in an auto accident.
