When a rear-end crash occurs, it’s almost always found to be the fault of the driver who comes up from behind the other vehicle. The reason is that the law assumes that everyone will drive defensively and avoid vehicles they can see. Tragically, a rear-end crash near Boca Raton Thursday evening killed a young man, and no word has yet been given regarding fault in the accident.
According to the Sun-Sentinel:
“Authorities have identified the 20-year-old man who died after his car flipped into a canal Thursday evening in suburban Boca Raton.
Nicholas R. Rozs, a community college student, crashed about 6:30 p.m. near the intersection of Military Trail and Champion Way. When rescue crews arrived, the vehicle was submerged in about 10 feet of water, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.
A report released Friday indicates Rozs was headed south on Military Trail when he came up behind another vehicle headed in the same direction. Rozs was forced to brake to avoid hitting the other car, but in the process he struck the guard rail and the Mercedes he was driving flipped over the guardrail and into the canal.”
The father of the driver who was killed has asked for help from any witnesses who may have seen the crash.
