The accident happened Friday night around 9:30 p.m. when a woman, 24, drove her Ford Fusion eastbound and struck a Toyota Camry headed north on Midway Road.

The driver of the Camry, a 37-year-old man, was taken to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Wrong-way collisions are one of the most deadly kinds of collisions on roads even though they are less common. According to a Highway Special Investigation Report, a study in Virginia found the fatality rate for wrong-way collisions on controlled-access highways to be 27 times that of other kinds of accidents.

Because the woman caused a wrong-way accident, the family of the driver that was killed has a right to a wrongful death claim against the woman.
