West Norriton, PA (August 22, 2022) – Around 6:30 p.m., West Norriton Fire Department crews were dispatched to a reported motor vehicle accident.
Montco CAD reports that the collision occurred on northbound and southbound Route 363 between Trooper Road and Van Buren Avenue junctions.
In this example, an accident involving entrapment occurred after two automobiles collided. Due to the severity of the damage, both vehicles had to be removed from the site.
Furthermore, preliminary reports indicated that three individuals required medical transportation. The rescuers had to use a spreader and cutting tools to release the victim, stuck inside one of the cars.
Due to the continuing nature of the inquiry, it is still unknown whether or not any citations or charges will be filed concerning the accident.
The wounded and their families are in our thoughts.
Fatal Crashes Reported Across Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, fender benders (a collision between two cars while one or both vehicles are coming from behind) account for over a quarter of all fatal auto accidents. Fender benders, also known as rear-end crashes, may not seem like big deals at the time, and they normally aren’t as bad as head-on collisions, but they may cause significant pain and disability in the days after.
A tractor-trailer is so large and heavy that even a rear-end accident might be fatal. Distracted drivers engaged in activities such as chatting or texting, adjusting the GPS, or searching the trunk are also risk factors. Rear-end collisions can be caused by several factors, including vehicles traveling too fast, drivers failing to check blind spots before pulling out of parking spaces or driveways, drivers following too closely, drivers abruptly stopping for red lights or stop signs, and drivers navigating in inclement weather.
You are entitled to compensation for your medical bills and lost earnings if you have serious injuries in an accident that was not your fault.
Long-term care and disability income replacement are two examples of services that insurance companies would sometimes greatly try to avoid covering. This is the case even when businesses cover certain vital medical treatments. Unfortunately, it’s probable that they won’t cover the whole cost of necessary medical treatment and may only provide limited support.
