Recently, a Texas car collision left three people lucky to be alive. The accident occurred on April 27 when a driver, out for a birthday celebration, left the Longhorn Saloon on Bandera's Main Street sometime after midnight. Shortly after, a car accident occurred. The woman was said to be driving a 1999 Mustang south on Highway 16 when she rear-ended a motorcycle and crashed into two pedestrians walking along the side of the road.
The pedestrians were seriously injured and taken by air to a San Antonio Hospital. One of them was suffering from a lacerated liver and brain injury. Days later, the man was still heavily sedated and in the intensive care unit. The injuries to the other pedestrian are unknown, though, it was observed that he was released from the hospital by April 30. The motorcycle driver was taken by ambulance to Boerne Methodist. A family member said he had been released from the hospital and was at home recovering from his injuries.
The woman left the scene of the accident but turned herself in later the same day. She has since been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Depending upon the results of the investigation, she may be facing additional charges. Authorities believe that high speed was likely a factor in the accident. The woman posted a $75,000 bond and was released from jail the next day.
The accident is still under investigation. The parties injured in this car accident may have a legal basis to file a personal injury claim for injuries sustained as a result of this crash. All victims have presumably incurred medical costs and other damages; therefore, they may wish to assess their legal rights. While a civil claim will certainly not take away the trauma they experienced, it could help them financially as they attempt to recover from their injuries.
