The expertise of a car accident lawyer would be useful after an elderly couple died in a three-vehicle crash in Oxford, Georgia. The tragic occurrence took place on Sunday morning, May 31.

The Georgia State Patrol dispatched troopers to the scene of the crash shortly after 10:45 a.m. Police reported that it happened on Georgia Highway 36, and involved at least three vehicles, including one occupied by an elderly couple from Newton County.

Preliminary investigations showed that 72-year-old Benjamin Christian was driving a vehicle on Ga. 36. His wife, 70-year-old Sandra Christian, accompanied the retired Lifeflight helicopter pilot.

While in transit, another vehicle, plying the opposite lanes, suddenly crossed the dividing line into their path. Both cars collided head-on as a result, causing the Christians’ car to flip over onto its side. Almost immediately, another vehicle driving closely behind them struck the overturned vehicle, causing further damages.

Paramedics pronounced Benjamin Christian and Sandra Christian deceased at the scene. Information about the identity or condition of the other parties involved is available at this time in the accident reports.

The Georgia State Patrol is heading an investigation into the tragic occurrence. Authorities would release further findings upon the conclusion of the investigations.

People who have lost a loved one in a traffic collision should endeavor to contact a car accident lawyer as soon as possible. That way, they could secure maximum compensation for their losses by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
