A disastrous accident occurred early in the morning on Friday along the New Jersey Turnpike. Police reports indicate that a tractor-trailer left the roadway and crashed. The accident occurred in Robbinsville, in the northbound outer roadway right by the 7A interchange with I-195.
Tractor-trailer accidents happen for many reasons. Tired drivers, distracted drivers, poorly maintained vehicles, and many other factors can cause these heavy trucks to spin out of control. When accidents like this happen, truck insurance companies go to work nearly immediately to limit the compensation paid. That’s why having a tractor-trailer accident attorney in New Jersey has become so important.
Details from This Case Are Limited
The driver in this tractor-trailer accident was not hurt, and there is no indication that any other vehicle was involved. However, initial police reports indicate that the driver lost control of the truck, causing it to overturn. The truck then spilled what seemed to be packaged chicken on the embankment. If it had occurred on the roadway, this could have caused cleanup delays and serious injury to other drivers.
