Fatal Accident in Cobb County

Posted by Terry Boyd on January 17, 2017 | Categories: Auto Accidents, Recent News

When a fatal accident occurs, the state is going to want answers and seek justice. So will the families of the ones who were killed or injured. The result of the criminal case is powerful evidence in any future civil court actions, though waiting for a result can delay compensation. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand what your options are.

A fatal accident happened in West Cobb County on Barrett Parkway. A driver is now facing charges of reckless driving and first-degree vehicular homicide. That driver was going down the wrong way on Barrett Parkway and crashed into another vehicle head-on. A third vehicle couldn’t dodge the accident in time and crashed as well.

The driver of the pinned vehicle died at the scene. The other drivers went to the hospital for treatment.
