Granbury Teen Injured in Car Accident on U.S. 377 in Cresson, TX
Hood County, TX — January 13, 2025, a Granbury teenager sustained injuries following a single-vehicle car accident at 10:19 p.m. along U.S. Highway 377.
In their initial statements, authorities said that the accident happened south of the U.S. 377 and Business Highway 377 split.
It appears that a 19-year-old Granbury woman was in a Kia Seltos going westbound. That vehicle apparently left its lane, ultimately resulting in a rollover crash. Due to the accident, the Granbury woman was seriously injured.
Authorities did not report any other injuries. The cause of the crash can't be confirmed at this time.
Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
People are often quick to jump to conclusions with single-vehicle accidents as is. When it comes to crashes involving teenage drivers, that concern is only more serious. It's important that investigations focus on the evidence rather than jumping to conclusions. Some key questions, though, sometimes reveal when authorities are coming up short.
- Did investigators have what they needed to examine the scene properly?
Skid marks, debris patterns, and road conditions can offer valuable clues. If officers were short on time or resources, some of that evidence might have been overlooked. - Was the vehicle checked for any possible defects?
Problems like faulty brakes, steering issues, or defective airbags and seatbelts can either cause a crash or make injuries worse. These kinds of issues often go unnoticed unless someone takes steps to preserve and inspect the vehicle right away. - Was digital crash data collected from the vehicle?
Most vehicles today store useful information about how the driver was operating the vehicle in the moments before a crash. That data can be key to understanding what happened—but only if it’s retrieved before it’s lost or overwritten.
By asking these questions, families and injured parties can gauge if authorities come up with satisfied answers. If they do, the investigations were likely thorough. If not, it may take more thorough independent investigations to get the whole story.
