FATAL ACCIDENT REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION HOMER, NEW YORK (September 24, 2016)
A man was killed in a tragic car accident on State Route 90 after his vehicle drifted into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer, according to ABC News. It remains unclear what caused the driver to drift into the oncoming lane of traffic. Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened. The tractor trailer came to a rest after the crash in a swamp area by the southbound shoulder. There may be liability on the part of the city for the accident for lack of adequate railing in the dividing section of the interstate. Guardrails are typically installed in the middle portion of the highway to prevent vehicle from crossing the center median. There will need to be a long and thorough investigation in order to determine if this was the case. Our staff at the RMFW Law Firm were deeply saddened to learn about this tragic accident. If there is anything at all that we can do for the victim’s family as they try to piece together what happened, we would be more than glad to help.
