Teen Dies in Tragic T-Bone Collision at Intersection on Way to School

According to The Times-Picayune, a 16-year-old motorist died after sustaining serious injuries in a collision on his way to school. The Madisonville teen was allegedly on his way to Mandeville High School when the crash occurred.

At around 6:30 a.m. on a Wednesday earlier this month, Louisiana State Police responded to the scene of the two-vehicle accident, which happened at a busy intersection. Investigators determined that the teenager was driving a 1996 Toyota Corolla south on Louisiana 1085 before he stopped at the intersection.

When he proceeded to turn left onto Louisiana 22, he drove into the path of a 2014 Toyota Corolla traveling south on that same road. The front of the 2014 Toyota crashed into the driver’s side of the 1996 Toyota.

Despite wearing his seat belt at the time of the collision, the young motorist in the 1996 Toyota sustained serious injuries. Responders transported him to St. Tammany Parish Hospital in critical condition. Tragically, he was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived.

The 29-year-old motorist in the 2014 Toyota was also wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident, and she sustained minor injuries. Responders transported her to North Oaks Health Systems in Hammond for treatment.

Investigators do not believe impairment played a role in the crash; however, authorities collected blood samples from both motorists for toxicological analysis.

If you sustained serious injuries or lost a loved one in a T-bone collision, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Turn to Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to determine if you have grounds for a claim.

How Can You Avoid a T-Bone Collision?

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

T-bone collisions are often devastating for the occupants of the vehicle that is struck on its side because car doors offer little protection from the force of impact. Such crashes typically happen at intersections, and although many of them seemingly come out of nowhere, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of causing one.

Motorists can prevent T-bone accidents by:

  • Decelerating when approaching yellow lights;
  • Obeying all stop signs and traffic signals;
  • Driving defensively;
  • Approaching blind corners with caution;
  • Looking before entering an intersection even if you have a green light or the right of way;
  • Being prepared to stop at all intersections; and
  • Waiting for any temporary obstructions to clear before crossing traffic.

Sadly, you can follow all of the above tips and still find yourself in a devastating T-bone collision. Even if you always make it a habit to exercise caution behind the wheel, you cannot rely on other drivers to do the same.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
