Head Injury Due to Car Crash- SC Car Accident Attorney

This past weekend was a dangerous one for drivers of secondary and rural roads, according to the SCDOT reports. Accordingly, five people were killed from car collisions while using South Carolina’s rural and back roads for their travels.

One individual who lost his life was a marine stationed in Georgia and headed back to the base from a long weekend in South Carolina.

S.C. Highway Patrol Cpl. states that the marine appeared to have been traveling south on Friendship Road at a high rate of speed when his GMC truck went off the road. The marine veered back and forth several times attempting to stabilize the vehicle before the truck left the right side of the road and struck a tree before going airborne, and eventually overturning, taking the marine’s life. The Coroner’s report states that he died from massive head and neck trauma due to the collision, which occurred sometime after 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Moreover, it has been released that the marine was not wearing his seat belt, and speed was a contributing factor to the collision.

It may appear obvious, but the dangers of rising a motorcycle highly outweigh the dangers of riding in a car or truck. Specifically, riding in a vehicle allows one protection, perhaps even slight, but still a buffer between the victim and the collision. With motorcycles however, the victim is not always afforded the same protection, as there is no ” buffer zone” to soften the blow of the collision. With winter quickly approaching, motorcyclists must be even more careful when travelling down country roads with icy patches and unseen dangers.  The motorcyclist’s vulnerability is immense, and the potential for a deadly motorcycle accident is always present, even for the most responsible of motorcyclists.

Of these numbers, 47 percent of the accidents tend to be fatal to the motorcyclist.  More than half of these fatal accidents are due to the other vehicle turning left, and 75 percent of the accidents are due to the other driver not being able to see the motorcyclist.

Man Dies After Car Accident- Rock Hill Car Accident Attorney

Two weeks ago in the city of Rock Hill, an 84-year-old man was riding in the back seat of a car driven by his son, when the car collided with another, causing an accident. Strangely enough, it was not the impact of the collision that was fatal to the elderly gentleman, but rather it was the shock.

Apparently, the elderly man was taken to the hospital after the accident with no major injury to his person. However, shortly after his arrival, he had a heart attack and passed away at the hospital.

The circumstances surrounding the car accident are as follows: the elderly man and his son were driving on Rock Hill Road around 3:30 p.m., when a car driven by a Florida resident pulled out of a restaurant and into the pathway of the victim and his son, striking their vehicle.

The accident is currently still being investigated, and no charges have been filed yet.
