INJURY REPORT

At 1:15 a.m., the motor vehicle collided with a parked truck after running a red light at excessive speed. Weather conditions were clear. Two victims were taken to the emergency room by emergency services after treatment on the scene. The passenger in the vehicle, a 20-year-old female, sustained severe facial cuts and a broken forearm. The driver of the vehicle, a 19-year-old female, suffered a broken leg and broken ribs as well as a shattered wrist with severe bleeding from the arm. Neither victim had a seat belt in place at the time of first responder arrival. The stereo system in the vehicle had been on before the accident, and the sole witness to the crash recalls clearly hearing music from the vehicle as it passed. The passenger reported that she was talking to the driver, her friend, and was texting with another friend in another part of town. The officer responding found the passenger's phone in her purse, while the driver's phone was found on the floor of the vehicle after it had been used to call emergency services by the driver of the vehicle. It's possible it was the driver texting and not the passenger. The vehicle has been towed and is probably a total loss. There is significant damage to the unoccupied parked truck, and the owner has been notified. On the strength of the witness statements, the driver is being charged with speeding, distracted driving, and failure to observe traffic signals.

Respuesta :

A. The main factors that probably played a role in causing the crash and injuries are: Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to observe traffic signals. It's possible the driver was texting, and there was loud music on before the crash took place. Neither victim had a seat belt in place, and they ran a red light at excessive speed in doing so.
B. The injuries could've been prevented in many ways. For example, they could've turned the music down a bit. They could've stayed away from their phones while being in the car. They could've payed attention to both the Speed Limit and the speed their car was going at. They also should've payed attention to the traffic signals and what was going on around them. Lastly, they could've focused on driving to keep the driver from being distracted.

Based on the information given, the main factors that played a role in causing the crash and injuries include speeding, failure to observe traffic signals, and distracted driving.
