Williamson County, TX — October 25, 2025, Daishauna Outlaw was injured due to a single-car accident shortly before 3:00 a.m. along Interstate Highway 35.

According to authorities, 22-year-old Daishauna Outlaw was traveling in a southbound Kia Forte on I-35 in the vicinity north of Old Settlers Boulevard when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, the Forte allegedly took faulty evasive action. It was consequently involved in a single-vehicle collision

Outlaw reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

When a driver takes evasive action and ends up seriously hurt in a single-vehicle crash, it's easy to focus on what they did—but the more important question is why they did it. Whether that action was truly faulty or a response to something unexpected, the only way to know is through a complete and careful investigation.

1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?

In early-morning crashes like this, investigators may be working with little more than vehicle damage and road markings. But that makes it even more important to document every physical clue. Did the Kia leave skid marks or tire scrub that could show a last-minute correction? Was the trajectory consistent with a swerve to avoid another vehicle, animal, or object? If those details weren’t fully documented, it becomes nearly impossible to understand whether the “faulty evasive action” was avoidable—or necessary.

2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?

Sudden evasive maneuvers test a vehicle’s systems. If the Forte had an issue with steering response, braking performance, or stability control, it could have made the driver’s correction harder—or even made it worse. Even something like an improperly functioning lane assist system can mislead a driver in the middle of a reaction. Unless the car is inspected, those possibilities stay off the radar. And in single-vehicle crashes, mechanical inspections often don’t happen unless someone insists.

3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?

The Kia Forte likely holds crash data that shows exactly how the car responded: when the driver braked, steered, or accelerated, and whether any systems activated. That data could confirm whether the vehicle performed properly or highlight a delayed or failed response. GPS logs and potential phone data could also provide context about what was happening just before the crash. But as always, that evidence won’t last forever—and unless someone moves to collect it quickly, it may be gone.

Labeling a reaction as “faulty” doesn’t mean it wasn’t necessary. The only way to fairly assess what happened is by making sure nothing is assumed, and no piece of evidence is left on the table.

Key Takeaways:

• Evasive maneuvers should be evaluated through physical and digital evidence—not assumptions.
• Mechanical failures can turn a routine correction into a serious crash.
• Onboard vehicle data can confirm what actions the driver took and how the car responded.
