Police reported to the scene of an accident in which they believe a crash occurred as a result of street racing. The incident, which took place in Mount Holly, NJ, reportedly involved two vehicles that crashed on Route 38 at around 9:45 p.m.. The accident caused one of the vehicles to overturn before catching on fire. That driver was airlifted to a local trauma center for care.
Street racing is not legal in Mount Holly. Unsafe conditions can put lives on the line, as they did in this situation. Yet, in this case, police are still looking for the other vehicle involved in the crash. As a result, this type of hit-and-run accident could lead to serious consequences for the other driver.
In this particular accident, the driver sustained serious injuries and later died as a result of them. For the family of that victim, it may be critical to seek legal guidance from a local wrongful death attorney to pursue legal action once the other driver is located by police.
