A man was thrown from his car and into a river when he swerved to avoid a pickup truck that made an illegal lane change. The man's SUV flipped and rolled across all four lanes of traffic. There were three other people in the car, including the man's mother, girlfriend, and his small child. The child was not injured, but the two women were both hospitalized.
Charges are pending against driver of the pickup truck, who could also face civil liability for the injuries from the accident he caused. The people in the SUV may be able to recover for their injuries, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
