What started out as a possible domestic dispute ended in an indirect death Tuesday night.
Two accidents that were miles apart and involving a total of nine vehicles occurred between the hours of 11:00 PM and midnight last night. The first accident took place after a car containing a male and a female were driving down the highway at speeds of over a 100 MPH when they clipped a minivan occupied by the mother driving and her five children. The two cars consequently flipped and all of the five children were ejected from the minivan as none of them were reportedly wearing seat belts. All five were air lifted to the local hospital where two have sustained serious injuries. It is believed that the couple in the other car began their 100 MPH dangerous adventure with a domestic dispute which motivated the erratic, hazardous driving.
About forty-five minutes later, the second crash would take place as a result of the backed up traffic caused by the aforementioned accident. Seven cars would be involved as a commercial truck would crash into another commercial truck causing a chain reaction that didn’t end until four vehicles and another commercial truck were collided into. The driver of the truck that caused the crash was killed in the fire that resulted when his truck burst into flames after the initial impact. Everyone else is not expected to face such a fate.
This sad tragedy, manifested in the actions of one driver, has caused one man his life and numerous other serious trips to the hospital. As a result, the driver of causing car in the first accident is being charged with aggravated assault. The autoist’s emotional driving will ultimately affect the rest of his life now.
