Abilene, TX – Four Injured in Three-Vehicle Crash on Rebecca Ln
Abilene, TX (July 28, 2020) – A multi-vehicle accident reported on Wednesday sent several victims to area hospitals with injuries. On July 22, the Abilene Police Department responded to the scene of a major motor vehicle accident on Rebecca Lane.
Reports show that at around 1:15 p.m., a green 2013 Ford sedan, a white 2019 Mitsubishi sedan, and a blue 2011 Ford sedan collided in the 3600 block of Rebecca Lane after one driver failed to yield the right of way to the other vehicles. The front-ends of all three vehicles sustained moderate damages in the collision causing the airbags in the 2013 Ford and the Mitsubishi to deploy.
Four victims involved in the crash were injured. The victims were identified as a 30-year-olf female driver in the Mitsubishi, the 22-year-old female driver of the 2011 Ford, the 47-year-old female driver of the 2013 Ford and her 16-year-old female passenger. All four victims were transported from the site of the crash to local hospitals for treatment of injuries. At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Car Accidents in Texas
Approximately every 58-seconds, someone is involved in a car accident in the state of Texas. These accidents leave around 250,000 people injured annually. Although the majority of accidents leave victims with minor injuries, tens of thousands of victims require immediate medical attention and have to spend months out of work recovering. Victims who are injured in accidents are often left with an array of injuries. Depending on the type of accident, the speed at which vehicles are traveling, and various other factors, victims are likely to sustain broken bones, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries in collisions.
Although we can be vigilant in controlling our own vehicles, keeping our eyes on the road, and helping to ensure the safety of others sharing the road, there is very little that we can do to ensure others sharing the road remain as careful. Statistics show that nearly 80% of collisions each year are a result of driver error. When drivers engage in distracting behaviors, drive impaired, or are reckless while operating their vehicles, they are likely to cause accidents that can leave others with life-altering injuries. When victims sustain injuries in accidents caused by negligent drivers, they should reach out to a car accident attorney in Texas as soon as possible.
