Commentary on 13-year-old Injured in Single-Vehicle Accident on FM 1090 in Calhoun County

There are obviously unusual circumstances surrounding this incident, but I think it offers a good example of an important lesson I try to teach whenever possible. Over thirty years of helping families with serious accidents, I learned that there are virtually endless factors that can contribute to a crash. Jumping to conclusions, then, is just about the worst thing one could do. Without ensuring all the facts are clear, something can easily slip through the cracks, and that's not going to do anyone any good. As unusual as some of the details in these reports are, I don't currently see a reason it would be the exception.
