Two family members are dead following a family trip to Atlanta, GA. Vijay Patel, 20, Broadview, IL, and Sujay Patel, 20, Summit, IL, died after a semi truck rear ended their passenger van on I-65N at mile marker 80, near Edinburgh in Shelby County, Indiana. Shelby County is 25 miles south of Indianapolis. The driver of the 18 wheeler, Randall L. Chriscoe of Ramseur, North Carolina was previously seen weaving in and out of traffic and traveling at a high rate of speed. Just as the passenger van was attempting to pull off into the shoulder of the highway, Chriscoe rear-ended the family, pushing the van off of the road and causing it to flip. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Truck accidents can happen as the result of driver fatigue. The "weaving" of the semi-truck prior to the accident may reveal that of fatigue of the truck driver. Investigation into the actual cause will need to be done promptly.
If you or a family member has been involved in an accident, please contact Wagner Reese & Crossen for a free consultation.
