High Speed Chase Leads to Death of Mesa Mother
As Mesa wrongful death attorneys, we hear about the devastating effects of losing a loved one to a tragic, preventable accident too often to count. Despite the sadness and grief following these events, the families involved are so strong, always trying to see the positive and celebrating life. We hope no family has to endure such losses, but our hearts are warmed to see the support of the community to come out and help where help is needed.
A Mesa family is without their mother, daughter, and sister after a wrong-way accident (ABC 15 11/19/10). A wrong-way driver trying to evade the police on the highway ran into her car, head-on. The driver was caught speeding by officers at the time, and has now been charged with manslaughter. The family is working together now to help raise money for her 4 year old daughter’s future without her mom. A benefit concert was held to help the family as well this past Sunday. It is so nice to see a community come together to help each other out after tragedy.
Speeding-related crashes cause approximately 30% of all traffic fatalities (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 06/05).
Arizona just recently stopped the use of automatic speeding cameras on the freeways, designed to capture speeding drivers and send them a ticket in the mail. The cameras were highly controversial, with some drivers claiming they invaded privacy, others saying they were more efficient than police officers. We’re not taking sides on this issue, we just want these drivers to be caught and brought to justice for endangering all others on the roads.
