Driver Trapped Under Truck in Gloucester Township

In a recent tractor-trailer accident in Gloucester Township, a sedan became trapped under the truck’s trailer. The vehicle struck behind the front tires, failing to stop and becoming wedged under the trailer. Amazingly, the driver and the passenger managed to get out with limited injuries.

Truck accidents involving side impact like this can be devastating. If a car fails to stop and strikes a truck, there is very little to prevent the car from traveling under the trailer, often leading to the vehicle’s top being ripped off or smashed, and victims inside suffering serious injuries.

In any truck accident like this, having a skilled accident lawyer is critical to protecting your right to fair compensation if you are the victim. Truck accident attorneys in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, can offer guidance on protecting your rights.

The Driver Failed to Stop in This Case

According to the police’s initial investigation, the sedan driver did not see that the truck was turning left. Instead of stopping, the driver began to pass the trailer illegally, striking it and becoming stuck under it. The accident was made even more worrisome because the trailer’s refrigeration system began leaking diesel fuel onto the roadway, creating a hazardous situation.
