A two-vehicle crash occurred south of Ada and left one man with a minor head injury, according to The Ada Evening News. The Oklahoma car accident occurred on Tuesday, February 8 when a 34-year-old driver of a Ford pickup failed to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign and pulled out in front of a 44-year-old driver of a Pontiac car. In turn, the Pontiac crashed into the pickup truck and forced both vehicles into the median. The driver of the Pontiac was taken to a local area hospital for treatment, while the pickup truck driver did not sustain any injuries.
Many car crashes in Oklahoma result in one or more motorists sustaining serious or even fatal injuries. Some serious injuries may include:
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Lacerations and bruising
- Nerve damage
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
Motorists who do not obey traffic laws run the risk of causing an accident, like the one mentioned above. All motorists have a responsibility to pay attention to their surroundings while operating a motor vehicle. If a crash occurs due to a driver’s negligence, they can be held liable for all subsequent injuries, related expenses, and property damage.
