Dallas Texas Personal Injury Law Blog

People who drive understand that anyone can make a mistake at any time, but most would assume that police officers driving in cruisers would be able to avoid collisions, especially when visual warnings are clearly on display.  Tragically, one man paid the ultimate price for some sort of mistake by a police officer when he was rear-ended and killed in a fatal Dallas car accident.

According to authorities, the latest fatal Dallas car accident occurred on Thursday morning at approximately 1 a.m. when when 59-year-old Terry Glover’s Jeep stalled on in the 7600 block of South Polk Street near Camp Wisdom Road.  Mr. Glover had his hazard lights on, but for some reason a police cruiser being driven by 27-year-old Adam Stucki did not see the vehicle.  He plowed into the back of the Jeep, sending it through a metal fence and into a nearby front yard.  Mr. Glover was rushed to the hospital but died a few hours later.

First, we’d like to offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Glover.  To die in such a sudden and violent way is truly tragic, and the shock and grief that those close to him will certainly endure will be difficult to overcome.  Unfortunately, this fatal Dallas car accident will only add to the overall statistics regarding Texas car accidents.  Every year, more than 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

It seems relatively clear that something went wrong in the police cruiser before it hit the Jeep.  The officers in that vehicle were on their way to a non-emergency call and had their lights flashing but did not have the sirens blaring.  If the family of Mr. Glover decides to file a Texas wrongful death lawsuit in response to this fatal Dallas car accident, it would involve additional procedural steps given the public nature of the driver who hit him.
