Two Drivers Killed in Fatal Car Crash the Night Before Thanksgiving


As a Tarrant County personal injury and wrongful death attorney, I know that the potential for deadly auto accidents is huge. We hear of car wrecks throughout DFW on a daily basis. Usually, the reason for the collision is fairly obvious – someone had been texting on their phone behind the wheel, for example – but other times it takes a thorough investigation in order to understand what exactly caused the crash. Such is the case in the collision which took place on Jacksboro Highway in Fort Worth last Wednesday night.

James Harris, 17, of Azle, was driving home from his job in Lake Worth when he collided with a car driver by Jake James, 72, of Fort Worth who was on his way to console a friend who had fallen upon hard times, according to his widow. It is believed that James’ Toyota Camry drifted into the wrong way lane on Jacksboro Highway which it collided head-on with Harris’ Ford Mustang. Both vehicles quickly became engulfed in flames. Both drivers were killed.

Since there were no eyewitnesses to the wreck, police are struggling to piece together the events leading up to and contributing to the fatal accident. Initially, they were unsure whether alcohol was a factor in the deadly crash, but according to friends and relatives of both Harris and James, neither of the motorists touched alcohol. The two cars are currently impounded at a forensic garage and the investigation is ongoing.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of both the drivers whose lives were lost in this tragic accident. While I realize that nothing can truly heal the wounds of losing someone you love, I hope that you find the closure and the sense of justice that you deserve. I am very sorry for your loss.
