“We believe, based on witness statements, that the Honda tried to clear the intersection through on-coming traffic,” Floyd County Police OFC Brad Scott said Friday. “The oncoming traffic had the green light.” “They were hit directly,” Swan said. “T-boned in the passenger door. No matter how much heart you have, physically you can't absorb that sort of hit.”
The fatal crash occurred when a Honda driven by Brittany Workman, 27, collided with a Ford pickup truck driven by Austin Lods, 18, at the intersection of Charlestown Road and Kamer Miller Road on Thursday evening. The crash propelled the two vehicles to collide with a third vehicle. A 16-year-old passenger in the Honda, identified as Brianna Negron, was transported by air to University of Louisville Hospital where she was pronounced deceased.
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.
