The fatal accident took place around 3:30 a.m. on Rose Avenue and Tiesa Lane. 

Winter suffered major injuries and sadly died at the scene. 

The involved driver fled the scene and did not render aid.

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of John Winter.

According to NHTSA, more than a quarter (25%) of accident-related deaths are linked to the use of alcohol. With that being said, according to the CDC, there are 30 people that are killed everyday in a car accident as a result of an alcohol-impaired driver. That is equivalent to one death every 50 minutes.  

If your injuries are caused by the negligence of a third party you may be entitled to compensation. In the event of a death, families may be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
