Posted on June 25th, 2010 No Comments

Police have identified a Northeast man who was killed in a car accident after he lost control of his vehicle and was thrown out the driver’s side window.

According to a statement released by the El Paso police department, 20 year-old Antonio Mondragon was killed in the 14000 block of McCombs Street shortly after 12:30 a.m. Monday. Police say his car rolled over several times after he lost control of it at a high rate of speed, drove onto the left shoulder, and onto a dirt berm.

Mondragon was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, police say. He was transported by ambulance to University Medical Center of El Paso where he later died of his injuries. Mondragon’s front seat passenger, 19 year-old Lyzette Duron, sustained injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Police say they suspect alcohol was a factor in the crash, and are awaiting toxicology reports.

Trial eminent for manslaughter case

Posted on June 17th, 2010 No Comments

A Waco woman has had her plea bargain refused by a 19th District Court judge in a case of vehicular manslaughter.

The 39-year-old woman, who happens to be legally blind, struck the man on East Lake Shore Drive back in December after not yielding the right of way during a left turn. The man was on his motorcycle, apparently riding to deliver toys to to charity organizations for Christmas. Injuries sustained by the crash killed him. The woman’s child was also injured, as the child was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. She is additionally being charged with injury of a child because of not securing the seat belt while the child was in the car.

Having this plea deal turned down, she is set to appear in court again for an August 17 trial date. According to her defense, they will try to offer another plea bargain on her behalf before that date, and they are certain that a prison sentence would be an unnecessary punishment for this incident.

Texas booster seat law goes into effect

Posted on June 3rd, 2010 No Comments

A new booster seat law has gone into effect across Texas.

The law requires children 8-year-old or younger that are shorter than 4-foot-9-inches to be restrained in a proper child booster seat. The law only applies to vehicles with fifteen or fewer seats, exempting school buses from the law.

In an additional part of the law, the seat must be installed in the automobile according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Factors such as weight, height and age that determine specific seat adjustments must be followed, as well as proper seat placement and security in the vehicle.

If the child is not correctly buckled into their respective booster seats, driver can expect to be pulled over and written a ticket. Fines accompanying tickets range between $25 to $250, which are priced in an effort to prove to consumers that it would be cheaper just to purchase a proper booster seat instead of incurring a ticket.

With increased use of booster seats, more manufacturing defects may come to light. If you or someone you love has been injured because a booster seat failed or proved dangerous to a passenger, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries or damages.

Posted on January 29th, 2010 No Comments

A freak car accident has sent two Temple men to a local hospital. One suffered serious scalp injuries.

The men were driving in a Dodge Caravan on I-95 Saturday when the driver lost control on a curve and sent the minivan flying over a curb. The vehicle flipped several times, jumped five feet into the air, and finally came to a stop after smashing into a power pole.

Emergency responders had to be very difficult removing the men from the crash because of surrounding power lines. Both men are being treated for their injuries.
