Plano Crash Kills Dallas Man After He Is Thrown From Truck
Albil C. Bernal, a 33 year old man from Dallas, died early Saturday morning in car accident at an intersection in Plano, Texas. The automobile wreck occurred when the Chevy Pickup in which Mr. Bernal was driving apparently ran a red light at West Park and Custer and struck a Hyundai sport utility vehicle. The driver of the Hyundai went to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Plano Police Department is currently investigating the accident. Since this wreck occurred at 4 a.m., one would have to assume that the investigation will include a review of whether alcohol played any role in the accident.
In 2007, there were almost 900 people killed in the United States and an estimated 153,000 people injured in car accidents involving red light running. For the other vehicles involved in these types of crashes, there is oftentimes no way to avoid the collision with the red light running vehicle.
