There have been a number of unusual but deadly vehicle collisions in and around the Texas area recently. Unfortunately, many of these could have been avoided with a little patience and some common sense. Reports indicate:
*In the early morning hours of a school day last week a passenger car was seen to be tailgating a school bus. When it attempted to pass the larger and slower moving vehicle it clipped the left rear fender. This caused both the car and bus to careen out of control. Before the vehicles came to a stop the bus had nearly flipped over and the driver of the car was killed. A third truck could not avoid becoming a part of the accident. No students on the bus were injured.
*A teenager was killed and his passenger injured when their vehicle was struck by a semi-truck last week. Preliminary indications are that the trucker ran a red light. In the course of the accident the trailer literally flipped over onto the smaller vehicle - crushing the victim.
*A driver whose vehicle was disabled pulled off the side of the road. A good Samaritan stopped to offer assistance and as both men were standing alongside the car an SUV struck them. Unbelievably - the same thing happened the following night. Sadly, one of the men died from his injuries.
