Two People, Including a Corrections Office Employee, Killed in Auto Accident in Lake Butler, Florida
Two people were killed in an accident between a Department of Corrections Van and a pickup truck that was reportedly leaving the scene of a domestic stabbing in Lake Butler, Union County, Florida, according to an article on News4Jax.com. The driver of the Department of Corrections van was killed in the crash along with the driver of the pickup truck. A passenger in the Department of Corrections van was seriously injured and taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida by helicopter.
In such a wrongful death case for the family of someone who was killed in an accident and a personal injury case for someone injured, attorneys for the victims would investigate not just how the immediate crash occurred but the events leading up to the crash. It is not clear from the article how the fatal crash occurred, but the facts suggesting that the driver of the pickup truck was leaving the scene of a aggravated assault involving his girlfriend suggests that he may have been driving negligently or recklessly. Lawyers for the victims will investigate exactly what happened at the pickup truck driver's home prior to the crash, the state of mind of the pickup driver, any alcohol or drugs involved and the manner in which he was driving when he left the scene of the stabbing. These issues and events that preceded the tragic crash must be thoroughly explored to get a full picture of why and how this crash occurred and the state of mind of the pickup truck driver that may have led to the crash.
