A 20 year old man from Fort Worth died yesterday from injuries he received last week in a car accident which happened in the 2900 block of East Loop 820 in Fort Worth. The man, Arialdo Hernandez, was a back seat passenger in a Ford Explorer which was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control. The vehicle then hit a curb and started rolling over, and Mr. Hernandez and another passenger were ejected from the SUV. Mr. Hernandez was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth where he remained until his death yesterday.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hernandez family. Twenty years old is way too young to die. This accident brings to light the danger of speeding. Nothing good happens and bad accidents are the frequent consequence of highway speeding. In the eyes of the law, this is a wrongful death.

Also, I don't know if Mr. Hernandez was wearing his seatbelt, but seatbelts do normally help prevent passengers from being ejected. They really help reduce injuries in rollover accidents.
