Suspect arrested after fatal wrong-way crash
Police say they have re-arrested a suspect in this week's deadly wrong-way crash in Plant City. Osbaldo Campos turned himself in to deputies this afternoon.
Osbaldo Campos, 21, drove the wrong-way on Reynolds St. for almost a mile before he collided head-on with motorcyclist Claudia Alderman. An officer saw Campos driving the wrong-way and tried twice to get Campos to pull over, but he refused. Alderman died in the crash. Campos has been charged with disobeying an officer, though more charges will likely be filed in the next few days.
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.
