Arlington, TX — Slippery roads caused by rain are suspected to be the cause of a one-car accident in Arlington that left one man dead and his female passenger injured.

Arlington police were called to the scene at approximately 10:30 p.m. Sunday night, November 15, on Interstate 20 near Green Oaks Boulevard.  Apparently, the driver’s car veered off the highway and hit a guardrail.

Tragically, fatal traffic accidents like these happen often in our local communities. This same weekend, a toddler was also killed in Oak Cliff when he was run over by a family member driving an SUV. In West Oak Cliff, a 16-month-old boy who was not restrained in a child seat died from injuries sustained in a rear-end collision.  In addition, a crash on Jim Miller Road in Pleasant Grove claimed the life of a 37-year-old man while two motorcycle wrecks in Dallas, TX were responsible for the death of two others.

Mesquite, Texas

A new government report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), confirms that driver distraction is a major cause of catastrophic and fatal motor vehicle accidents on our roadways.  NHTSA released new statistics regarding driver distraction for 2008:

• There were 34,017 fatal car crashes in 2008, in which 37,261 people were killed. Driver distraction was found to have been involved in 16 percent of those fatal car crashes in 2008;

• Approximately 2,346,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2008, of which 22 percent of those collisions involved distracted driving.

Lately, there has been an increased focus put on the problem of distracted driving.  Whether from eating, drinking, conversing with passengers, talking on a cell phone, or text messaging, it is clear that distracted driving can result in serious personal injury or death.  Some studies show it is more dangerous than drunk driving.

Sadly, these types of car accidents are all too common, and as a Mesquite TX personal injury lawyer, I am too frequently asked to help family members who suffer these types of tragedies deal with the aftermath.  Due to the lack of punishment, text messaging while driving has become the biggest safety concern on our roads.  It is the cause of numerous major motor vehicle collisions in our communities like Garland, Plano, and Mesquite, Texas.
