Police responded to an accident on Pitman-Downer Road near Chapel Heights Road in Washington Township after receiving an automated call from an Apple crash detection sensor. Upon arrival, police found the driver was ejected from his vehicle, and though they tried to resuscitate him, they could not do so.
Fatal accidents along busy roadways are often tragic because of the speed involved. Factors such as distracted driving, impairment, or illegal lane changes can amplify these accident risks. In a moment, a person’s life changes. In an accident involving just one vehicle, it is not possible to know what caused the driver to swerve in many situations. Yet, understanding this, through an investigation, including sensor technology, could bring the family some level of justice.
If your family member died in an accident, even if they were alone, it is critical to seek legal action from a car accident attorney who can pursue additional information to find out what took place.
Unknown Why the Driver Left the Roadway
In this particular accident, police determined that the vehicle was traveling northbound on Pitman-Downer Road and left the roadway for some reason, hitting an embankment. The impact was strong enough to cause the vehicle to go airborne before it collided with a pole. The driver was then ejected from the car.
While investigators work to understand the cause of such an incident better, families are often left unsure of what took place. With the guidance of a skilled car accident lawyer from Kwartler Manus, families can ensure all possible data is found.
