Dump trucks are among the most dangerous vehicles on the roadway, and when the driver loses control, the risk of serious injury and property damage is high. That is what happened in a recent accident in East Goshen Township, Pennsylvania. According to reports, a dump truck crashed into a tire shop in the 1300 block of West Chester Pike at around 3 p.m.
According to initial information about the incident, the dump truck went off the road for an unknown reason. It then struck a telephone pole. The truck continued crossing the property of numerous businesses. It eventually crashed into a tire store before coming to a stop. At that point, though, the truck was nearly entirely in the building.
For the driver or any victims along the way, having an experienced car accident attorney on your side could prove to be helpful.
The Driver Was Taken to the Hospital
Even with the significant damage in this case, the dump truck driver was taken to the hospital but with only minor injuries. No one else was hurt. Numerous businesses, including the tire shop, suffered serious damage. Police were investigating the cause of the accident but had not released any details. This type of accident could be due to many factors, including distraction, another vehicle, an animal in the roadway, or various other incidents that caused the driver to lose control.
