Elevated Highway Elevates Fears, Risk


A Fort Worth accident today underscores just how unique – and dangerous – urban interstates can be. After losing control of his truck, the driver’s truck crashed through a guardrail on Interstate 20, flipped off the highway and landed in a tree near Loop 820 and I-20. Incredibly, the man only sustained cuts and bruises and was promptly rescued.

Elevated highways impose elevated risks on drivers. Although off-the-highway accidents like today’s don’t happen frequently, when they do the effect is often serious – or fatal. Moreover, the presence of elevated highways and the accidents they make worse also raise an important legal question: is the reckless driver responsible for not only the accident, but also the effects of the accident, such as falling off the highway?
