A car accident at the intersection of Bethlehem Pike and Schoolhouse Road close to the Fluid Energy Processing and Equipment resulted in at least one person having to go to the hospital. The incident happened at the 4300 block of Bethlehem Pike in Hilltown Township at about 4:30 pm. It involved a Toyota Camry and a silver Dodge minivan.
The incident caused so much damage that rescuers had to remove the rear driver-side and driver-side doors to free the people trapped within the car. The other vehicle had significant front-end damage, with the Camry having heavy side damage. That includes the accident, which was like a T-bone.
Investigating Fault in a T-Bone Accident
This accident resulted in one driver entering the intersection who did not have the right of way. One driver may have run a red light or may have been distracted behind the wheel, failing to stop as they should. The police investigation into the case will reveal what occurred based on witness statements, area cameras, and accident reconstruction experts. Ultimately, the at-fault party is responsible for the damages the other car sustained.
The complexity in a case like this lies in the drivers proving that they were not at fault. It may be one person’s word against the other on who had the right of way.
