Mount Enterprise, TX -- July 7, 2022, a California man and another person were hurt following an accident involving a truck and a van.

In reports, officials said that a 25-year-old Stockton, California man was driving a Ford van along a road merging to Highway 315. It appears the van went left of median splitting oncoming lanes, causing it to crash with an 18-wheeler that exited the highway.

It's no doubt easy enough for folks to just assume this driver was being reckless or inattentive. Maybe that did happen here, but could there be more to this? The area of the crash appears to split traffic right before the highway intersection. Has this kind of crash happened here before? One can imagine that someone unfamiliar with the area may make a mistake if there isn't enough lighting, proper signage, or road markings to delineate the lanes. Again, it's not for me to say what happened here, but folks shouldn't be so quick to blame the victim before there have been proper, thorough investigations.
