What To Do If Road Debris Causes An Accident
Police suspect the piece of concrete was intentionally thrown from an overpass and into the roadway.
After the Tennessee Department of Transportation began investigating the incident, it was determined that “the concrete was not a part of the bridge, but more closely resembled a roadway curb.” Based on these findings, authorities now suspect that “the chunk of concrete was intentionally thrown from the Shelby Avenue Bridge.” Unfortunately, police do not have any suspects in custody at the moment and are now urging anyone with any information to come forward. In the time being, officials will be reviewing surveillance cameras located nearby to see if they are able to identify anyone who may be responsible for throwing the large chunk of concrete off the bridge.
After the incident, the mans employer, Nissan Group of North America, issued a statement about their employee’s passing saying, “We are saddened to learn of his passing. Our deepest sympathies are with his family members, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.” As you can only imagine, it can be rather difficult to lose someone in such an unexpected way. But the reality is, that is how car wrecks happen, when we least expect them to. We never know when we will encounter a distracted or impaired driver or a flying object that someone decided to toss out of their window or into the road.
