Five people died in an auto accident in Tennessee last Friday night. Four out of the five were cheerleaders at a local high school. The SUV carrying the girls crashed into an oncoming vehicle shortly after the girls left their school’s football game.
The fatal accident was caused by wet and foggy road conditions. The SUV hydroplaned, flipped on its side and crossed into the oncoming traffic lane. It burst into flames immediately upon hitting an oncoming car.
The girls in the SUV were not wearing their seat belts. All of them died in the accident. The driver of the other car and her 10-month-old child were injured and hospitalized. Another passenger in the car had a miscarriage from injuries sustained in the crash.
It is important to consult an experienced personal injury lawyer after being injured in an auto accident. You might be able to receive compensation for your injuries.
