Man Charged with Manslaughter After he Runs Over Kids in Tent

A man has been charged with manslaughter in North Dakota for killing two young brothers from Texas who were sleeping in a tent after he lost control of his pickup truck. His truck was going so fast that it ended up in the campground where the boys were sleeping and killed them. When I first heard about this, I was heart broken as I take my kids camping and can understand the terror and pain the parents of these kids must be going through right now..

The driver of the truck has also been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, reckless endangerment, and drunken driving.

You hear about these types of accidents often with speed and alcohol causing serious damage on the roadways and most of the time it usually hurts others and not the driver. It should be interesting to see how this case will be played out as it will be difficult for the driver to be able to defend himself for this.

When injured by a truck in Texas, make sure you talk to a lawyer who can help you make sure that you receive the compensation you need for your injuries and can help you deal with insurance companies who like to make it as difficult as possible.
