Butler County, PA (August 18, 2023) – A major accident that took place on Route 38 early Wednesday morning is currently under investigation, per reports from Butler County deputies.
The accident occurred on Route 38 near Weed Road in Oakland Township on Wednesday morning around 2:00 a.m. According to reports from Oakland officers and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, the incident involved a tractor-trailer and a Jeep.
Four people traveling in the Jeep were all sent to local hospitals with life-threatening injuries. It’s unclear if the driver of the semi-truck was hurt in the collision, though officers say their investigation is still ongoing.
Witnesses who were in the area at the time of the crash were asked to contact Oakland or Butler County authorities.
Our thoughts and best wishes for recovery are with the wounded and their loved ones.
Pennsylvania Traffic Crashes
According to traffic experts, close to a thousand people were killed or seriously wounded in vehicle accidents in Pennsylvania every year. While victims were located across the state, these numbers illustrate the disproportionate number of fatalities in and around Philadelphia and other significant metropolitan centers.
The roads and highways of the United States are dangerous places, and tragedies may happen at any moment. Unfortunately, irresponsible driving is a serious issue throughout the country, including in Pennsylvania.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a car accident, you may be at a loss for what to do next. The stress of an accident and the pain of injuries are awful enough, but adding financial concerns about how to pay for things like medical bills, car repairs, missed earnings, and more is unnecessary.
Having a lawyer on their side means victims may focus on getting well while still demanding justice and the financial recompense they are owed. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you collect the evidence and submit your claim in a timely manner after an accident. In the aftermath of a vehicle crash, having legal representation that is both competent and understanding may make a world of difference.
