A wrong-way driver was killed along Route 55, according to New Jersey State Police. They shared that the driver of a Chevrolet Malibu was heading northbound on Route 55 but then crossed into southbound traffic. That led to a head-on collision.
Crossing into the opposite direction of traffic can be devastating, and in some situations, it occurs for fully preventable reasons. For example, a driver may reach to grab their phone and, in that second, lose control over a roadway, especially if the road turns or twists even the slightest direction. When tragic accidents like this happen, a full investigation into what occurred is critical.
For families of a deceased party or victims with serious injuries, seeking legal guidance from your own attorney can be necessary to ensure a full investigation is completed. With the guidance of a car accident lawyer, you gain more of the critical information you need to know who is at fault.
Serious Outcome in Head On Collision
In this particular accident, a BMW SUV was traveling southbound at the same time when the driver of the Chevrolet Malibu struck the BMW SUV in a head-on collision. The driver and the passenger of the BMW suffered moderate injuries requiring medical care.
