Woman driver killed when her SUV collides with bus in Tucson Posted: Updated: TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities have identified a woman driver who was killed in a crash involving her SUV and a Sun Tran bus in Tucson. That caused Galins' SUV to swerve into the other lane collide head-on with the city bus. Tucson police say 50-year-old Sandra Galins was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead after Tuesday afternoon's accident. Police say Galins tried to pass another vehicle but made contact with its driver's side rear bumper. They say four people on the bus suffered minor injuries, but none were taken to a hospital.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
