A man, who was said to be “weaving in and out of traffic” as he drove down Highland Drive near 5000 South in Salt Lake City, Utah, is dead this evening when his Suzuki struck a Cadillac Escalade traveling in the opposition direction. The deceased, James Lowe, 66 years of age, may have had health problems, including diabetes, that contributed to the pre-accident weaving. Six others traveling in the Escalade, were taken to local hospitals.
Although the article in the Deseret News suggests that health problems may have led Mr. Lowe to drive erratically, it is also possible that there were product defect issues with Mr. Lowe’s vehicle. For example, if a vehicle’s tie rod end suddenly failed, it could cause one of the front wheels to turn in to the right or left, leading the driver to lose control of the vehicle. These are issues the family of Mr. Lowe should investigate.
Meanwhile, those injured in this crash may have legal claims from injuries brought on by this accident. In cases where there a large number of persons making claims, the claimants may run into issues with there not being enough insurance money to pay for the property damage to the cars as well as the personal injuries that come from the crash. I would recommend that those injured seek the free counsel of a Utah personal injury/accident attorney to find out what their remedies are.
