Being ejected from a vehicle is one of the most worrisome outcomes in a collision because the risk of serious head trauma and spinal cord damage is very high. In a recent accident along Interstate 295 in Logan Township, a driver was ejected from their SUV. The incident, which took place in Gloucester County, started when the driver was unable to maintain control over their Isuzu Ascender vehicle as it rounded the curve approaching the Exit 11A ramp.
When the driver lost control of the vehicle, the car then struck the curb and the guardrail. It then overturned slightly further down at milepost 11.8. The driver was thrown from the car and died from their injuries as a result.
Losing control over a vehicle near a ramp onto or off the interstate can be highly dangerous. Since vehicles are increasing their speed as they enter the ramp, the risk of losing control, especially if the driver is engaged in any other task at the time, is very high. For victims who survive, working with a car accident lawyer may be necessary.
An Investigation Is Underway
Not all single-car accidents are due to that driver’s negligence. Other factors, such as poor road conditions, a lack of lighting, animals in the roadway, or other drivers, can also contribute. With an attorney, you learn the details of what occurred.
