Police and rescuers were called to the scene of an accident near the Philadelphia Zoo. They arrived to find a driver suffering critical injuries after striking a tree. According to initial reports, the driver lost control of the vehicle for an unknown reason. That led to driving off the roadway and crashing into a tree.
The police did not provide specific information about why the driver lost control of the vehicle. It may have been that the driver was trying to avoid an animal in the roadway. Other times, drivers may be cut off by another driver, which causes them to swerve and lose control. Distracted driving, intoxication, and fatigue are additional common causes.
