A recent fatal car accident in Massachusetts resulted in the death of one person and left two others injured. Few details of the crash have been released at this time, though reports indicate that three vehicles were involved. Police officers stated that they witnessed one driver speeding on the road moments before the collision occurred. Footage from an aerial camera showed that one vehicle was overturned and the other two suffered heavy damage. A driver in one of the…

Motor vehicle collisions can happen within seconds. This is why it is so important for drivers to remain aware of their surroundings. Tragically, a Massachusetts teenager was recently involved in a fatal car accident as she was crossing the road. According to authorities, the young woman was crossing the street during her lunch break. Recent rainy weather made the road slick, causing her to slip as she crossed. Reports indicate that she had crossed the first lane and was attempting to avoid a car coming from the right when she fell. That car then struck her while she was on…

Each day, Massachusetts drivers get in their vehicles, fasten their seatbelts and head off to work, school or other destinations. This is often done without any thought to the enormous responsibility that accompanies such action. When drivers decide to operate a motor vehicle, they also must accept responsibility for what happens as a result of their actions. When one does not obey traffic laws, a fatal car accident can occur. One driver has recently been arrested as the result of a fatal car accident in Westfield. According to reports, the 25-year-old driver failed to stop for a red light. As…

It is a known fact that drinking and then driving is a recipe for disaster. Even the beginning Massachusetts driver knows that this is never a good idea. In addition to the possibility of being charged with drunk driving, the likelihood of being responsible for taking the lives of innocent victims in a fatal car accident is simply too great. One young man is learning this lesson the hard way. As he was heading north on I-95, a 22-year-old driver plowed into a car that was stopped on the side of the interstate. He continued speeding north and landed in trees along…

Drivers on Massachusetts roads face many risks. While the state has taken many safety precautions, there is nothing but a strip of paint separating oncoming traffic on many roadways. Unfortunately, even what may seem as a relatively small mistake -- such as going across the center line -- can have devastating consequences. For example, police in Massachusetts are still investigating a recent fatal car accident. Reports indicate that the accident happened one evening on a day in May. Police claim that the driver of a vehicle crossed the centerline, plowing head-on into a vehicle driven by a 29-year-old man. The driver…

Human beings have a certain understood responsibility to one another. For example, when a person sees that another person is injured and requires aid, the moral response would be to seek medical aid for them. Unfortunately, in a case that could ultimately lead to a wrongful death lawsuit, police believe that a man in Massachusetts did not meet his moral and legal obligations after he struck a pedestrian. Reports indicate that the accident happened one evening in late December. According to reports, a truck driven by the man now facing charges struck a 59-year-old male victim as he crossed the street in…

Lawmakers in Massachusetts go to great lengths to enact laws intended to protect the lives of all those who utilize the state's roadways. Unfortunately, when drivers fail to obey them, the laws are rendered ineffective. What may seem like a simple infraction, such as failing to obey a traffic sign, could ultimately result in irreparable harm. For example, police believe that a recent fatal car accident was caused by a driver who failed to obey a stop sign. The accident happened at approximately 4 a.m. one morning in early January. According to reports, a driver drove through a stop sign and struck…
