Darren and Iliyah Moore die in fiery I-20 Greene County crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Numerous factors contribute to the rise in traffic fatalities, with driver behavior remaining one of the leading causes. Speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving—particularly cellphone use—continue to play major roles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 8,055 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes during the first quarter of 2025.

While investigators continue to determine the cause of the collision and any potential liability, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, emphasized the importance of an independent investigation conducted by an experienced attorney.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this one, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of a victim may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death attorney will remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s legal rights and best interests are protected.”
