At 1:10am Saturday morning, Virginia State Police responded to the scene of a car crash. An investigation revealed that a 2000 Nissan X-Terra driver failed to negotiate a left-hand curve, when their vehicle suddenly ran off the right-side of the road, crashing into a ditch. A19-year-old passenger succumbed to their injuries at the scene of the wreck. Another passenger was brought to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries, and a fourth passenger was not harmed. The driver was arrested and charged with a DUI, illegal possession of alcohol, voluntary manslaughter, and possession of an ID that did not belong to them. They were treated for minor injuries, according to news reports.
As an Annapolis car accident lawyer, my thoughts are with the family of those harmed. I hope nobody else was hurt in this collision. If you or a loved one were harmed in an auto accident, discuss your case with a personal injury attorney who can evaluate your case and help protect your rights, along with answer any important legal questions you may have regarding your claim. A personal injury lawyer can help guide you through your case by guiding you through the legal processes associated with your case in order to reach the best possible outcome for your claim.
