Fatal Fayette County Accident

A fatal car accident occurred in Fayette County when a vehicle crossed over the center line.  Police believe speeding to be a contributing factor.   

The accident occurred late on September 3^rd, when the driver of a vehicle traveling at high speeds lost control on Connellsville Street in North Union.  Police reported that the driver overcompensated a curve and lost control. They then crossed over the center line and crashed head-on into another vehicle. 

The driver and passenger of the speeding vehicle suffered fatal injuries and had to be extracted from the vehicle.

The driver and passenger of the vehicle that was struck were both seriously injured and flown by medical helicopter to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.

Speeding is not only illegal, it can also be deadly. Speed limits are put in place to keep roadways safe.  It is important to always follow the speed limit and be aware of any signage indicating sharp turns or bends. 

The accident victims may choose to make a personal injury claim against the at fault driver. Filing a claim cannot erase the damage that was done, but it can help alleviate unexpected costs such as, medical bills, lost wages and provide compensation for pain and suffering.
