Car Accident on I-64 Kills Passenger
A fatal car wreck in Frankfort, Kentucky on I-64 has resulted in the death of the passenger. A van driven by Alice Justice was westbound on I-64 in Frankfort, Kentucky when it left the roadway and lost control. The vehicle traveled across both westbound lanes of I-64 before rolling over, coming to final rest in the median on its side.
Police are reporting that the passenger, Patrica Mann, was ejected and pronounced deceased at the Frankfort Regional Medical Center. The collision is still under investigation by Kentucky State Police.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones auto accident and wrongful death attorney Larry Jones says, "In cases in which a vehicle occupant is 'ejected' from the vehicle, it is many times concluded that the occupant was not wearing a seat belt. However, what many people don't realize, is that there are many ways to determine whether or not someone was a wearing a seat belt at the time of the wreck. The high tech way to make such a determination is to retrieve the vehicle's 'black box' --a data recorder that tells various things such as speed at the time of the wreck, whether the airbags deployed and which occupants were wearing seatbelts. Also, an autopsy can reveal signs that the occupant was belted, such as belt burns on the shoulder or neck." Jones says, "Anytime there is a car accident that causes a death, all potential claims must be examined by those with the experience and know-how to identify the various at-fault parties."
