Cottage Hills Boy Hurt in Unusual Accident on I-255
An accident involving a car, a minivan, and a tow truck left 12 year old Zachary Anderson in satisfactory condition yesterday morning. On 1-255 by Collinsville, IL, a wheel lift fell off a tow truck. The wheel lift was hit by a car and then struck by a minivan, which caused it to strike Zachary. The driver, Crystal Little, and other passenger of the car, Dylan Little, had only minor injuries. Sean Reese, the driver of the tow truck, was written up for an equipment violation.
Accidents involving children are particularly heart-wrenching. My thoughts are with the Anderson family as he recovers from this tragic accident.
Since Reese was cited for an equipment violation, the Anderson family may want to consider contacting an attorney who specializes in accidents as the result of negligence. Negligence is the failure to take proper care in a situation that could cause someone else to be injured or killed. Not securing the equipment on a truck may be a sign that the operator of the truck had been negligent. If this is the case, an experienced personal injury attorney would know exactly the right evidence to collect to ensure that the Anderson family can recover emotionally and financially.
