Accident Claims Life of Brigham City Resident

A car accident took the life of a 53-year old in Brigham City, Utah. According to the Deseret News, Brigham City resident Rodney Elmore was driving himself to his doctor’s appointment on February 16, 2009 around 11:00 a.m. when witness say that they saw his car weaving. His car then hit a concrete wall in the median. Elmore, who was determined not to be wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected and died from injuries incident to the car crash. No other motorists were involved in this car accident.

This is a sad story. From the sound of it, his losing control over his vehicle could have been the result of a medical condition. I could also have resulted from a catastrophic failure of his car’s steering and/or suspension system. The police are reportedly still investigating the actual cause of the crash. I hope they don’t overlook a vehicle defect as being a possible cause of this crash. I wish Rodney Elmore’s family the best as they deal with his tragic death.
