The factors that can contribute to car accidents are numerous. In many cases, accident causes can fall into the categories of driver negligence or recklessness, but those categories encompass actions from distracted driving and speeding to failing to accommodate for weather conditions. In too many cases, crashes lead to serious injuries and other harrowing outcomes.
It was recently reported that a car accident in Oregon claimed the life of one person and resulted in two other people suffering injuries. The incident occurred when a person traveling west failed to stay in the correct lane and crossed the center dividing line. That driver's vehicle crashed head-on into a pickup truck that was traveling east. There were a man and woman in the pickup truck, and the driver was apparently the only occupant of the other vehicle.
