Accident Report

Authorities said in preliminary statements that the accident happened in the area of the Oyster Creek Drive and Yaupon Street intersection.

According to officials, a 15-year-old boy was on foot at the time. While walking, a Lincoln Continental was going eastbound. That vehicle somehow struck the boy. Due to this, the teenager sustained reportedly serious injuries. There were no other reported injuries.

Authorities did not report any charges. Additional details about the accident are unavailable.

How Did This Accident Occur?

The most likely explanation following most pedestrian accidents I’ve handled is that someone failed to yield the right-of-way. But things aren’t always that simple. There may have been some kind of emergency. Maybe this area is poorly lit or lacking proper signage. Distraction may have played a role. Perhaps the vehicle was going too fast. At the end of the day, it’s up to the evidence to tell the whole story. I just hope authorities took the time to consider all possibilities rather than jumping to conclusions or moving on before they had a chance to look at the facts.
