Wrong way drivers have become increasingly a problem on the Interstate highway system. I’ve blogged about it before and have been collecting wrong-way highway collision news for almost six-months. In the next week I’ll be adding a compendium of news items, probably a few each day for at least two-weeks while I’m away on vacation.
For now I see that Brooks Schuelke and Wayne Parsons have posted a recent news item. You can find theirs at Wrong Way Drivers Causing A Rash of Traffic Fatalities In Dallas And Austin and then Wayne’s article titled, Wrong-way Drivers Cause Three Percent (3%) of U.S. Traffic Fatalities.
Also Rick Shapiro has another post titled, Merchants of Interstate Death or Injury: Wrong Way Drivers-Usually Drunk or Drugged. It’s a very frightening problem as can be seen by reading their articles. Like many of us on the IB Rick posted his blog on his lawfirm website as well.
Drunk driving, drugs, being distracted, in a hurry, just getting old or bad highway signs with a wide grassy area dividing the highway can contribute to committing a wrong-way entrance.
I’ll have some tips on how to avoid being hit head-on by a wrong-way driver. But let’s save that until next week with the compendium of news items and the weekly analysis.
This is really the strength of the InjuryBoard lawyers committed to safety and reducing the number of accidents and injuries. It shouldn’t be about robbing from the injured to pay for someone else’s mistakes; the focus should be on reducing the number of injuries and those that are robbing corporate America with participation bonuses.
If you have a post on another website or know of a study or news article about wrong-way drivers send it to me at my email address: sd_lombardi@hotmail.com. I’ll add all articles and attempt to make a giant post or series of posts that collect valuable information about these freak accidents that usually kill.
They have each pointed out the two articles I’ve previously posted.
InjuryBoard:
Interstate Highway Safety: Part I - Ghost drivers continue to be a problem on U.S. Interstate Highways, Nov. 8, 2008
Driver Safety: Wrong-way drivers, not as uncommon as you may think.
And if you use the InjuryBoard as it is designed you’ll be pretty amazed at what turns up. For wrong-way drivers here is only two pages of the searches that turned up. There are more but this is enough for now. The InjuryBoard is an incredible news source about personal injury from around the country. We still have places for writers, attorneys, paralegals, safety experts, journalism students, law students, law and journalism professors and free lance journalists. If a university journalism department was interested in creating a internship at the InjuryBoard we’d be happy to discuss the possibilities. We always have room for good writers and journalism students can be matched up with attorneys in all fifty states and territories across the United States. The InjuryBoard is great place to get your feet wet and to develop a style. If you’re interested contact one of the founders or myself. We’re more than happy to talk about what is possible.
