When servicemen are killed in the U.S. in car crashes, it\u2019s hard to accept. They survived Iraq only to come home and wind up dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case was really hard for the family,\u201d said Stephen Ozcomert an Atlanta personal injury attorney. \u201cThe 21-year-old Marine hadn\u2019t been home all that long when he and his wife were hit head-on by a wrong way driver,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
The wrong way driver was a 71-year-old man who was heading east in the westbound lane where the Marine and his family were driving. They met head-on. When EMS crews responded to this accident call, they immediately transported the young Marine, his wife and the other driver to the nearest hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, the Marine died at the hospital and his wife was flown to another hospital to be stabilized. The driver of the other car was also stabilized at the hospital.<\/p>\n
