Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents

When driving on the roads of Massachusetts, it is possible that a driver will encounter another driver who does not signal when they changing lanes or who drives too closely. These behaviors can be frustrating, and, in some cases, could result in encounters fueled by road rage. Police believe that road rage may have been the impetus behind a recent fatal car accident. Police believe that a 67-year-old man was under the influence of alcohol one morning in early November. Witnesses claim that he and the driver of a second pickup truck became engaged in a road rage incident. According…

There are many distractions while driving. Even for those who do not use their cellphones, simply having a passenger in the car could distract the driver from the roadway, resulting in a serious accident. A recent fatal car accident in Massachusetts remains under investigation to determine the exact case of the tragedy. Reports indicate that the Massachusetts State Police received calls about what was initially described as an injured pedestrian at approximately 3 a.m. one morning in early November. However, it was soon revealed that a car crashed for unknown reasons. A passenger in the car was ejected and struck by six…

There are many people who enjoy taking a risk. For some, risks include bungee jumping or skydiving -- these activities likely only risk the life of the individual person. However, other risks include speeding and driving recklessly -- actions that could also place the lives of others in jeopardy. For example, one man in Massachusetts now faces charges related to reckless driving after a fatal car accident. Reports indicate that police received reports of a car accident just before midnight one night in mid-October. Police claim that a car driven by a 30-year-old man slammed into a pole. Three of the…

The dangers of drinking and driving are well-known. Unfortunately, some people continue to get behind the wheel after drinking, confident that they can safely drive. However, alcohol can slow a person's response time, ultimately resulting in a fatal car accident. Many victims of drunk driving accidents -- including loved ones of deceased victims -- choose to pursue justice by filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Such legal action may be possible after a man was charged in connection to a recent accident in Massachusetts. The accident happened just before 4 p.m. one afternoon in early October. According to police reports,…

There are times in a person's life when it is apparent that one's personal safety may be at risk. However, most people in Massachusetts likely feel relatively safe when going about their daily activities, such as unloading groceries from a parked car. Unfortunately, a recent fatal car accident took the life of a brother and sister while engaged in such an activity. Reports indicate that the accident happened one night in late September. Police say that the pair, a 48-year-old woman and her 46-year-old brother, were standing near a parked car when they were struck. Witnesses claim that the female victim…

People who lose their lives in car accidents likely had no idea when they woke up the morning of the accident that it would be their last. As a result, they likely leave behind unfinished business and family members who are in shock over the unexpected loss. One family in Massachusetts is likely coming to terms with the news that a fatal car accident has taken the life of their loved one. The accident happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. in one night in mid-July. Police say that a car with a 34-year-old driver crashed into a rock wall before hitting…

Life is often unpredictable. As a result, many people are caught off-guard by the loss of a loved one. For example, the families of two deceased men in Massachusetts are likely still coming to terms with the news of a fatal car accident that took the men's lives and sent another young man to the hospital. Police are still investigating the accident. The incident occurred in the early morning hours one day in June. Police claim that the three men were in a convertible vehicle at the time of the accident. The car allegedly struck a parked vehicle before rolling. All three…

Car accidents can leave those involved with both emotional and physical injuries, but if a victim is killed, it can hurt the family emotionally as well. These types of wounds can take longer to heal than any physical damage from an accident, and they can often be more detrimental to an individual's daily life. Unfortunately, one fatal car accident in Massachusetts recently killed one individual. The accident occurred on the early morning of May 4 at around 12 a.m. and involved two motor vehicles. The cars both had damage to their front ends, but it is not known who caused the accident.…

Traffic signals are built every day to make intersections safer for those on the roads, but sometimes these very signals give drivers a false sense of security. Unfortunately, not all operators of vehicles drive responsibly, and sometimes these drivers can ignore traffic signals. When this occurs, dangerous situations can quickly form and lead to accidents that seriously injure or even kill those involved. Unfortunately, a fatal car accident in Massachusetts took place after an individual was driving in a negligent manner and struck another vehicle.

Car accidents can be serious enough if average-sized vehicles are involved, but when a tractor-trailer is involved in an accident, it can create a catastrophic situation. The massiveness of 18-wheelers means that dangerous situations can be created if the driver has one moment of negligence, and if another driver is in the vicinity, that person has the possibility of being involved as well. Unfortunately, one fatal car accident recently killed two people in Massachusetts. The accident took place in the early morning of April 16 at around 5 a.m. and involved one car and an 18-wheeler truck. The accident occurred when the…
