Bexar County, TX — June 15, 2024, Sean Walsh and another person were injured in a car accident shortly after 12:15 p.m. along State Loop 410.

According to authorities, 35-year-old Sean Walsh was traveling in an eastbound Ford Focus on Loop 410 in the vicinity west of Paloalto when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for as yet unknown reasons, a westbound Dodge Ram pickup truck occupied by a 46-year-old man failed to safely maintain its lane of travel. Reports state that it veered left, crossing over the median and entering the eastbound lanes of the highway. There, a T-bone collision occurred between the right side of the pickup truck and the front-end Ford Focus.

Both Walsh and the man from the Ram reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. EMS transported both of them to area medical facilities so that the could receive necessary treatent.

Additional details pertaining to this incident are not available at this point in time.

When a vehicle crosses over a highway median and into oncoming lanes, it signals a serious breakdown in control—whether that’s on the part of the driver, the vehicle, or something else entirely. In a case where both parties were seriously injured, those details matter more than ever.

Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
A median crossover followed by a side-impact crash is more than a momentary mistake—it’s a complex event that needs full reconstruction. How far before the crash did the pickup begin drifting? Was the movement sudden or gradual? Did investigators document the trajectory of the Ram and determine whether the Focus had any opportunity to react? These are the kinds of questions that need physical measurements, vehicle positioning, and evidence-based mapping—not assumptions.

Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
When a vehicle veers into oncoming lanes, the possibility of a mechanical failure must be taken seriously. Steering components, brake systems, or even a front tire failure could make it impossible for a driver to stay in control. If the Dodge Ram experienced any of those issues, it could drastically shift how the crash is viewed. But unless the truck was inspected by someone qualified to identify subtle system failures, that information may never come to light.

Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Both the pickup and the Focus are likely equipped with event data recorders capable of showing pre-crash speed, braking, and steering activity. That kind of data can clarify whether the Ram driver tried to correct the vehicle’s path or if the system failed to respond. It can also reveal whether the Focus driver had any chance to avoid impact. In crashes where the cause isn’t immediately clear, this information becomes the most reliable source of truth.

This wasn’t just a routine highway collision—it was a complete loss of lane control that ended in a serious injury. To understand why it happened, every angle has to be explored, especially the ones that aren’t obvious.

• Median crossover crashes require full trajectory mapping and vehicle path analysis.
• Mechanical issues such as tire or steering failures should be ruled out through inspection.
• Vehicle data can show whether either driver had time to react—or if the system failed them.
