According to a recent news article from CBS Local Boston, a local war veteran who had served in the United States Army for nine years was in South Boston one Thursday night when he heard the massive crash as a result of a serious car accident.  He described what he heard as the sound to two freight trains slamming into each other.

caraccident3After he heard the crash, at the Old Colony Avenue and Dorchester Street intersection, he went running toward the accident to see if anyone was hurt and if he could help.  He found two cars, a Honda Civil and Volkswagen Jetta, which had just slammed into each other and were left a crumpled mess.  He ran up to the wreckage and was repeatedly asking if everyone was okay, though the feared they weren’t.

Accidents involving large commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses often result in more severe personal injury than accidents involving passenger cars, or even death.  The reason for this is that a commercial vehicle generally weights at least 10,000 pounds, and some dump trucks when loaded can be upwards of 80 tons.  An average bus weighs around 30,000 pounds.

There are a lot of reasons so many people come to Boston each year while on vacation.  One of the reasons is to see the many historical sights, which date back to the days when New England was a colony.  When you walk around much of downtown Boston, you will notice a line of red bricks on the sidewalk.  This is the path of what is known as the Freedom Trail.  The name refers to the efforts of the colonist during the early days of the American Revolutionary War.

policelineSome tourists will choose to walk the Freedom Trail without a tour group and take their time to explore and see the sites.  Some will take a guided tour, so there is a tour guide who can explain the significance of the history they are seeing as they walk. Continue reading

In Countryway Ins. Co. v. United Financial Casualty Ins. Co, a car accident case from the Supreme Court of Kentucky, plaintiff was riding in as a passenger in a semi tractor-trailer.  The vehicle was owned and operator by the passenger’s son.  While she was riding in the truck, they were in a serious accident involving a Pontiac Sunbird.

carcrash51There was no question that the driver of the Sunbird was the sole cause of the accident. As it turned out, the driver of the Sunbird did not have any auto liability insurance.  This does not, however, mean that the car accident victim cannot recover.  It means that he or she must try to recover under that is known as uninsured motorist coverage (UM).

Truck accidents are among the most serious types of motor vehicle accidents in Boston and across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  While it is possible to escape a car accident unscathed, accidents involving a large commercial truck and a car, bicycle, motorcycle, or pedestrian often result in serious personal injury or even death as result of the tremendous amounts of weight and force from a tractor trailer.

According to a recent news feature from 12 News Now, police arrested a man in connection with a car accident, and he was reportedly naked the time of the crash.  The somewhat strange car accident occurred just before 10 p.m. Thursday.

mlCAWKuAuthorities say after they received the call, they arrived on the scene of the car accident and saw a pickup truck that had been driven off the road and into a ditch.  The driver was standing on the roof of the pickup truck while naked and waiving his arms and yelling, apparently trying to garner the attention of anyone who would listen – or look.

In ACE Fire Underwriters v. Romero, a case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, driver left a local farm driving a tractor-trailer vehicle. He pulled on the highway next to the farm when the trailer separated from the tractor.

highway1Driver immediately realized his trailer had unhooked and drove off the road and made a U-turn so he would be facing the detached trailer.  His hope was that his headlights would light up the trailer so other cars on the road would see the trailer and avoid hitting it.   However, before he could make the U-turn, another car hit the trailer, which had no lights on it as it was no longer connected to a power source, and the driver of that vehicle died as a result of his injuries suffered in the car accident.
