Woman killed, 2 injured in hit-and-run crash on Almonaster Avenue: NOPD
Authorities said their initial investigation shows a man was driving a red pickup truck in the left lane in the same direction on Almonaster. The pickup truck, NOPD said, hit the back of the Trailblazer, causing the Trailblazer to spin out of control and run into a large tree on the neutral ground.
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.
