Heart attack may be to blame for deadly accident in Corpus Christi
On July 15, police responded to the scene of an accident on the Crosstown Extension near the San Padre Island
Sixty-year-old Eli Alaniz, a City of Corpus Christi Solid Waste employee, was traveling northbound on the Crosstown Extension when he crashed his truck into the concrete barrier on his left. The impact then sent the vehicle into another concrete barrier on the other side of the freeway.
The city worker was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police believe he may have suffered a heart attack that caused the accident.
It is estimated that five to ten percent of traffic accidents are caused by medical problems. Many heart attacks cannot be foreseen, and this accident may not have been preventable. However, because Alaniz was injured while at work, his family may be eligible for Texas workers' compensation benefits for his death.
