Fatality Accident on Highway 97 Involving Commercial Vehicle
A man lost his life speeding up to pass a commercial tractor trailer on Highway 97 just north of Ellensberg last night. As he accelerated, the car and truck went into a blind curve and the man was not able to estimate the degree and regulate his speed accordingly. This caused him to fishtail, lose control, and run off the road where he slammed into a tree.
Adam J. McRae, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene, said Washington State Patrol.
This is a more common occurrence than people know. Particularly on winding downhill mountain highways where the roads can be deceptively slick. It is always best to use patience, particularly when passing a large rig. There are many unforeseen hazards that come with commercial vehicles such as wind sheer, blind spots, and blindness from splash back during heavy rains.
If you or a loved one are injured or killed in an accident involving a commercial vehicle it is important that you find representation with experience in insurance settlements. Call Phillips Webster for a consultation.
