Jonesboro woman killed in Saturday wreck on Hwy. 1

A Jonesboro woman was killed Saturday in a wreck just outside of Jonesboro on State Highway 1. The driver lost control of the car and hit a GMC Acadia, which was traveling south, head-on. The driver then saw a semi-truck traveling south and swerved back into the northbound lane. According to the Arkansas State Police crash report, there were no other injuries. Traffic was blocked for about 2 hours while two medical helicopters and several ambulances were called to the scene.
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 spoke of above; on that Saturday Evening when the lady was fatally killed due to the head on collision caused by the driver of the vehicle of which she was a passenger; was indeed a tragic event. However; if there were no other injuries; why did we needs two helicopters; aumbulances; and firemen to cut brutally beaten bodies from the SUV; of which the driver was hit so hard head on that it nearly snapped her neck; shoved the motor into her legs, crushing her bones, burned her flesh; leaving her nearly lifeless body there to lie & wait on 1st responders and medical help to arrive. Worst Day Of My Life...23+ months down; a lifetime of recovering to go!! There were injuries; in both cars!!!
