A car accident at the intersection of Cowpath and Orvilla roads in Hatfield Township caused significant damage, cutting power to the powerlines to the intersection and nearby Snyder Square Shopping Center, according to police. When officers arrived at the scene of the accident, they found two vehicles with damage, and one vehicle was empty as the driver fled the scene. One person was being treated for injuries at the time of the accident.
In a car accident like this, where one driver flees the scene of the accident, it can be challenging for the other driver to determine who that party is to hold them accountable for the losses they caused. This complicates matters in filing an insurance claim, but you still may be able to do so. Police will investigate as well, and often, they find the party at fault.
