Tarrant County, TX — July 10, 2024, Hamish Armour was injured as the result of a car accident that happened at around 9:32 p.m. along Southlake Boulevard.
According to authorities, the incident took place in the area of the Southlake Boulevard and Gateway Drive intersection.
Investigators said that 18-year-old Hamish Armour and a 21-year-old were in a Ford Mustang going northbound. While attempting to turn left onto westbound Southlake Blvd., the vehicle somehow lost control. It veered off-road where it then overturned.
Due to the crash, Armour sustained serious injuries. The passenger apparently was not injured. Right now, no further information about the accident is available.

Something stands out to me here, and I wonder if it’s something authorities ever dug into. Generally speaking, with two people riding in the same car, they’ll generally fare similarly in a crash. The fact one person was apparently fine here while the other was seriously injured raises a red flag. Why did this happen? Was it just a quirk of how the vehicle was angled, or was there a defect that led to the injuries?
Authorities overlook possible vehicle defects far too often. If, for example, someone’s airbag or seatbelt fails to function, but their passenger’s works fine, they could end up with serious injuries that could have been avoided. Bringing this stuff to light is not only important for those affected but also to help fix any problems so others aren’t harmed in the future.
Maybe nothing like that happened here, or maybe authorities took the time to look into these possibilities already. In my experience, though, it’s best not to take that sort of thing for granted. The evidence should have the last say, and it’s not clear right now if authorities ever provided more of that behind the scenes than what they released publicly.
