Teenager Injured in Car Accident on Highway 359 in Laredo, TX
Laredo, TX -- February 25, 2023, a teenager was injured after an accident where a vehicle crashed along Highway 359.
Investigators said that the incident happened at around 5:30 p.m. along Highway 359 off Loop 20. The cause of the crash is unclear at this time. It appears a vehicle was going along the highway when it lost control and overturned. The driver, an unidentified 18-year-old, had serious injuries. No one else appeared to be involved.
There needs to be a lot more information than what I'm seeing here headed to the victim's loved ones so that they aren't left with any unanswered questions. I wish I could say with 100% confidence that will happen, but certain details make that a concern.
Of all the sorts of crashes that tend to draw a lot of hasty assumptions, single-vehicle wrecks and accidents involving teen drivers are high up on the list. In both situations, people have a tendency to blame the driver without actually having the facts. Anyone with experience in accident reconstruction knows it's ridiculous to jump to such conclusions without letting the evidence speak for itself. My hope it authorities here agree in that regard.
