League City, TX (October 29, 2020) – An auto accident reported in the League City area claimed the life of one person on Wednesday afternoon. At around 1:15 p.m., on October 28, the Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the scene of a crash on Interstate 45.
Reports provided by authorities show that 19-year-old Keniqua Pleasant was exiting Interstate 45. In doing so, her vehicle crashed into the vehicle driven by 46-year-old Jeremy Campbell.
The impact of the crash caused Campbell’s vehicle to go out into the feeder road where it was struck by another vehicle. The impact of that crash then sent Campbell’s vehicle over the retaining wall where it crashed into a bulldozer.
Campbell sustained fatal injuries in the accident. Pleasant attempted to flee the scene of the crash with a stolen vehicle. However, she was apprehended and arrested for failure to stop and render aid as well as the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. At this time, investigations surrounding the crash are underway.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Jeremy Campbell. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents happen far too often in our state. In fact, statistics show that one accident occurs roughly every two minutes that result in injuries. These accidents add up to more than 270,000 each year. Although we hope that everyone is able to recover from their injuries, more than 3,600 people end up passing away as a result of their injuries. The unfortunate truth is that no matter how vigilant we are in ensuring the safety of others sharing the road, there is no guarantee that all motorists will pay the same respect to us. As a result, we continue to see people harmed or killed in accidents caused by negligent, reckless, and distracted drivers.
