Fred Flores Livas Killed in Head-On Collision with 18-Wheeler in Rogers, Texas
Local reports from KWTX indicate a man was killed in an accident
involving an 18-wheeler north of Rogers, Texas. The wreck occurred
around 6 p.m. Monday, February 20 when Texas DPS troopers believe
39-year-old Fred Flores Livas veered into oncoming traffic and struck an
18-wheeler head-on. Livas was pronounced dead at the scene. Though
troopers found beer cans inside the vehicle, they cannot verify if the
man was drinking.
Commentary Even in
situations where fault is reportedly linked to one side, it is always
prudent to conduct an independent investigation into the accident, that
can work in collaboration with the police reports. This is necessary
because in almost any accident, parties share some percentage of
liability. Some of you may question where the trucker's liability comes
from, but imagine a couple scenarios for me. What if the trucker was
speeding, such that while the act does not cause an accident, it plays a
role in its effect. Conversely, truckers are trained to perform evasive
maneuvers when faced with a danger on the roadway. If this did not
occur, again this would not cause an accident, but could certainly
effect the severity of it. These are situations to consider following an
18-wheeler accident, as liability is rarely as cut-and-dry as a news
report will suggest.
