The Platt Bridge was closed after a driver careened over the barrier separating both lanes of traffic on the bridge. That driver was rushed to the hospital with injuries, but another driver died at the scene. In an accident that seems to be overwhelmingly intense, the data out of South Philadelphia is clear – the driver of a BMW struck another car, causing a serious accident that led to the other driver’s death.
In situations where the driver who causes an accident dies, victims must still pursue financial recovery of their losses through the at-fault party’s insurance provider. However, it seems another driver was responsible in this case, which can complicate the process. Seeking legal guidance from a Philadelphia car accident lawyer could be vital in a case like this.
Driver Lost Control Of The Vehicle
Though few details were available to show why, for some reason, the driver lost control of the vehicle, resulting in them flipping over onto the westbound lanes of the roadway. That is also when the vehicle struck a Camry. A secondary vehicle, a Nissan Murano, was also struck. The driver of the Camry lost their life at the scene of the accident. The third driver of the Murano was said to be in stable condition at an area hospital.
The bridge was shut down for five hours as crews worked to better understand what occurred. Working with an attorney who can investigate the incident on your behalf could be vitally important in a case like this. Turn to Kwartler Manus for a free consultation.
