Accident Report

February 12, 2026, Felisha Colwell and another woman were injured after a car accident that happened around 7:27 p.m. along Stockton Avenue.  

The crash reportedly happened at the intersection of Stockton (Highway 18) and West 15^th Street.  

Officials said that 39-year-old Felisha Colwell and another woman were in a Nissan Sentra going southbound along Colwell. A Chevy Silverado was going eastbound on 15^th. At the intersection, authorities say that the Silverado failed to yield the right-of-way, and the vehicles collided.  

Felisha Colwell and the passenger in the Nissan both reportedly had injuries. No other injuries were confirmed. Authorities recommended charges for the Chevy Silverado driver.  

How Did This Accident Occur?

If further investigations revealed that this happened because the allegedly at-fault driver was on their phone, it would be the least surprising thing I heard all day. Distraction is just about the most common cause of car accidents these days, which is why cellphones are the first thing we look into when we get a car accident case. All kinds of other factors need attention too, of course, but distracted driving is always a good place to start.  

Here’s something authorities don’t often talk about, though. I can’t recall a single one of our car accident cases where someone handed over their phone records willingly. It usually takes a court order, which isn’t always something authorities are motivated to do on their own. So, if people just assume authorities have everything under control, they can find themselves weeks or months down the line without the actual evidence they need to tell their side of the story.  

Even when the cause of a crash seems obvious, it’s important to work as early as possible to secure evidence. That way, important details won’t slip through the cracks, and there will be as little room for speculation as possible.
