A Booneville woman was killed in a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon in Prentiss County. Mississippi Highway Patrol troopers responded to the intersection of MS Highway 4 and County Road 8301, west of Booneville, at about 1:45 p.m. Clemmer was not injured. It appeared that Martha E. Cole, 62, of Booneville, was traveling east in a Nissan Altima near CR 8301 when a Ford F-150 driven by Tyler K. Clemmer, 19, of Ripley, collided into the rear of her car. Cole died from her injuries.
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.
