One Killed One Injured When Pickup Truck Careens Into Cobb County Home

Early this morning, a pickup truck driven by a Powder Springs woman suspected of being drunk crashed into the bedrooms of an unincorporated Cobb County house killing and resulting in the wrongful death of a 14 year old boy as he was sleeping and injuring his sister.

The boy was pronounced dead at the accident scene and his sister was treated for minor leg injuries at South Cobb Hospital. The driver of the pickup truck is a 44 year old woman. The Cobb County authorities are waiting for results of drug and alcohol tests.

A lawsuit for the wrongful death of the boy and the injuries to the minor sister will mist likely be filed. Punitive Damages, assuming that the alcohol/drugs tests come back positive, will most certainly be sought in Cobb County State or Superior Court depending on the preference of the Plaintiffs' Attorney.

If you or a loved one has been killed or injured by a drunk, intoxicated or sober driver, I would invite you to visit my website www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
