When a vehicle stalls in the middle lane of a highway, it immediately creates a dangerous situation. However, when that vehicle is an enormous tour bus and police officers respond by parking behind that bus and illuminating their squad car lights, it should minimize the risks. Unfortunately, those steps were not enough to prevent a Dallas car accident that occurred over the weekend that injured both a police officer and the tour bus driver.
When a driver takes in passengers to give them a ride, they are doing those who accept a ride more than a favor – they are also taking on a legal duty of care that’s owed by all drivers to their passengers. Specifically, drivers can be held legally responsible if their negligence leads to harm to those in the vehicle. While it’s too early to know exactly what occurred early on Wednesday morning, that is a possible scenario with regards to a fatal single-vehicle Las Colinas car accident.
