At least four family members were injured in an Oklahoma car accident involving two vehicles colliding at an intersection. According to a news report in The Tahlequah Daily Press, the car accident occurred at the intersection of Stick Ross Mountain Road and the State Highway 51 bypass in Tahlequah, Cherokee County. It is unclear at this time what caused the two cars to collide. According to a post on the Hulbert First Baptist Church’s Facebook page, one of the victims is sore and bruised, one suffered a concussion, broken ribs, and organ lacerations, one is improving, and another family member is in serious condition after suffering life-threatening injuries. It is unclear what caused the accident or if anyone will be cited for the tragic collision.
Whenever serious injuries are suffered in a street intersection car accident, it is important to determine who was at fault. Did one of the vehicles run through a stop sign or red light? Did one of the motorists fail to yield the right-of-way? Did the accident result from distracted driving, fatigued driving, or drunk driving? In cases involving negligence or wrongdoing, the at-fault driver can be held liable for the injuries suffered by the victims. Injured victims of such car accidents would be well advised to protect their legal rights and best interests by contacting an experienced Oklahoma personal injury attorney.
