Murder charges filed in 2 vehicle-crash

Authorities say a western Kentucky man has been charged with murder in the deaths of two people killed in a two-vehicle crash. Kentucky State Police say the victims were killed Sunday afternoon in Webster County while aboard a motorcycle. Duncan was being held in the Webster County Detention Center. Police say the driver of the pickup, 43-year-old Christopher S. Duncan of Dixon, was charged with two counts of murder and driving under the influence. Police say their motorcycle was struck head on by a pickup truck along a curve on Kentucky 132.
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.
