One killed, two seriously injured in U.S. 63 accident south of Houston

Tpr. Mark Philpott said a northbound 2004 Kia Sorento driven by Sean M. Rief, 27, of Bucyrus, crossed the centerline and sideswiped a southbound 2003 Yamaha motorcycle operated by David R. Mathis, 56, of Cabool. The Rief vehicle then struck a southbound 2008 Dodge Caliber head-on driven by Amber M. Brignole, 30, of Licking, which plunged down an embankment.
     
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.

This accident occurred on US 63 south of Houston Missouri which is in Texas County.  Someone needs to check their info a little better.  There is no US 63 in the state of Texas.
