Driver Struck Railway Support Beam
Initial information about the accident indicates that a car crashed into the railway support beam close to Girard Avenue at about 3:45 am. This occurred close to the 3300 block. The driver lost control of the vehicle for some reason.
It is not clear what caused the driver to lose control. However, once they did, the vehicle struck the beam. One person died at the hospital. Another person was in critical condition and a third in stable condition. Police were still investigating and did not release any information about potential causes.
Why Drivers Lose Control
It will be important for police to uncover what caused the accident. Common causes of drivers losing control include mechanical issues, such as brake or steering failures. More commonly, drivers lose control after being distracted or intoxicated behind the wheel. Fatigue can also play a role in these accidents. Other times, a third party, such as another driver, or road conditions can lead to the incident.
