**UPDATE** Stanford, Kentucky (Lincoln County) Car Accidents Lead To Injuries But Displays Responsibility Of Those Involved
Sadly, the crash posted about on Monday has turned out worse that we initially hoped. 20 month-old Khiana Dowell of Lincoln County died as a result of a traumatic brain injury she sustained in the wreck. 6 month-old Cameron Dowell, presumably Khiana's brother was also hurt and required an admission to the hospital for treatment, but is listed in fair condition. Khiana and Cameron are the children of the two adults in the vehicle with them, Brandon Dowell and Kacey Dowell (previously identified as Kacey Tramontano).
Our hearts go out them. It is important to note that the Dowells were responsible parents and had their young children strapped in child safety seats. They were rear ended from behind and there was nothing more they could do.
After first blush, it seems fairly obvious how and why this tragic wreck happened, driver error. However, there are often many contributing factors to an accident that take a thorough and complete investigation to discover. An accident reconstruction is essential in figuring out the contributing factors and finding out who all the responsible parties are. Oftentimes, the contributing factors go well beyond simple driver error.
We use our blog as a forum to educate the public using real life events. However, we are very sensitive to the fact that these real life events have resulted in a tragedy that will inflict great pain and sorrow on those involved and those close to the victim(s). As such, we understand that they may not approve, and we will immediately remove a post if a victim or their loved ones makes that request.
