Tuesday afternoon crash at U.S. Highway 127 and Hunter Road
GREENVILLE TOWNSHIP, OH, (December 10, 2024) - Arreis Sprowl, a 19-year-old resident of Greenville, was critically injured in a head-on collision between a dump truck and a car on Tuesday afternoon. The accident occurred around 4:49 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 127 and Hunter Road in Greenville Township.
Arreis Sprowl from Greenville was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital after being critically injured in a head-on crash between a dump truck and a car Tuesday in Darke County.
Sprowl, a front-seat passenger in a Ford Focus, was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital by CareFlight after being extricated from the vehicle by emergency crews. She is currently listed in good condition.
The driver of the Ford Focus, a 39-year-old female from Greenville, and the driver of the dump truck, a 26-year-old male from Greenville, were both treated and released at the scene.
The Darke County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crash, which involved the dump truck failing to yield while making a left turn.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill roughly 36,000 people and injure 1.9 million more. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes in 2018, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help identify what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
An injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.
Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
"Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
