A man who knocked down two pedestrians in a fatal accident in Houston, Texas, would need to hire a car injury attorney. The authorities identified the victims of the Monday, April 20th, accident as Jason Sanders and Adam Caesar.
The accident occurred at about 11:30 p.m. in the southeast area of Houston. According to investigators, a male driver of a Chevy SUV going at high speed suddenly veered off Cullen Boulevard and drove into a utility pole.

The unnamed driver struck Sanders and Caesar, leaving them with severe injuries that they passed away from at the scene. The motorist survived with injuries, and the medics took him to the hospital where the doctors said he would survive.
The investigators have ruled out the influence of drugs or alcohol but noted that the driver was going over the legal 35 miles per hour speed limit of the roadway. The police have not charged the man at the time of this report, but he is likely facing manslaughter charges or criminally negligent homicide.
The Houston District Attorney’s Office in a press release said that more drivers are getting involved in fatal accidents as there are fewer cars on the road. Traffic officials have reiterated that drivers should maintain the speed limit of all roadways and at all times.
Any driver involved in an accident caused by speed will face criminal prosecution if there’s death or severe bodily harm. When that happens, a car injury attorney would be needed for possible defense and representation.
