The driver and two passengers of a 1999 Ford Explorer were killed in Morgan County, Georgia on Interstate 20. The vehicle was heading eastbound when it passed a tractor trailer and attempted to move back into the right lane. It spun out of control and crashed into the guardrail.
Georgia State Patrol investigated the incident and found the rear two tires were worn down and that the risky driving took place in a heavy rainstorm.
This fatal crash points up the importance of proper maintenance of tires and other mechanical parts of your car or truck.
It also is a good example of why it is so important to contact our Georgia Auto Accident Law Firm as soon as possible when you are involved in an accident. The evidence of poor tire condition may be lost if a delay in starting our investigation occurs. When we handle a case , it is not enough to rely on what the police or Georgia State troopers say. The physical evidence must be preserved. There may also be claims against a tire or auto manufacturer, mechanic or others that must be considered in serious injury or wrongful death cases.The evidence has got to be nailed down. .
