Three Injured in Head On Crash in Lorain, Ohio
Lorain, Ohio - February 14, 2012 - Three people were injured in a head-on collision in Lorain, Ohio. There were two cars involved in the accident, a green Mitsubishi and red Kia. The green Mitsubishi went left of center and struck the red Kia. The Kia was driven by a 56-year old woman and her granddaughter was a passenger. The driver of the Mitsubishi was also injured in the crash. The news story regarding this accident is available here. All three passengers were taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center.
While this case is a tragic accident, the driver that went left-of-center should be held accountable for the damage he caused to the other driver and her granddaughter. This case highlights the significant costs distracted drivers can cause in accidents when they go left of center into oncoming traffic. When two cars are travelling in opposite directions, the force of the collision is greater than if you were to drive into a brick wall. This is due to the two cars accelerating in opposite directions at the time of the accident. The significant amount of force associated with the collision greatly increases the severity of injuries. In this case, this accident caused the death of another driver. This accident was clearly avoidable and the 28-year-old driver of the Mitsubishi should be held accountable for his negligence.
