Police Vehicle Hit by Speeding SUV That Brought Down Light Pole

A recent crash took place at the intersection of 5th Street and Allegheny Avenue on a recent morning in North Philadelphia. According to police reports, an SUV was speeding and crashed into a police vehicle. The impact of the SUV caused a light pole to fall over, hiding a pedestrian nearby. The complicated series of events caused numerous injuries to those involved, though the driver of the SUV refused medical care.

In a case like this, the risk of serious injury to a pedestrian is high, even though the driver never actually struck the pedestrian. For police, the damage to the vehicle and the injuries officers had will also be a factor to consider when holding the at-fault party accountable.

When you are the victim of an accident involving a vehicle, you face a serious risk of injury. Because of that, it is essential to arm yourself with legal guidance. Hire your own Philadelphia car accident attorney to pursue a full investigation into all of your losses.

Injuries Were Minor

In this particular car accident, the officers suffered minimal injuries and were sent to the hospital for treatment. The pedestrian was also transported to the hospital. However, no update on that person’s condition was immediately available. Police have yet to announce charges against the speeding driver.
