The case arose from a deadly motor vehicle incident, when the young man’s vehicle was rear-ended at high speed.

Despite the efforts of emergency responders, the young man could not be extricated from the vehicle in time and the flames claimed his life. This preventable tragedy left the family of the young man to grapple with the sudden and devastating loss.
