According to police, a property owner suffered significant damage to a retaining wall after a vehicle struck it. The accident occurred in Gloucester Township when an SUV heading west on Evesham Road tried to turn left on Woodland Avenue and instead struck the wall. After trying to clean up, police said the two people in the vehicle left the scene.
Property owners suffering damage like this could face significant financial loss. Yet, in this case, those causing the accident left the scene, making it hard for the property owner to know who to seek compensation from. Cases like this benefit from the hands-on help of an experienced car accident attorney.
Witness Saw What Occurred
Witnesses reported to police that they saw two people trying to clean up the damage to the retaining wall, which caused rubble to spread throughout the sidewalk. The two people said they would call the police to report the incident. While they did clean up most of the car parts, though not all, they did not call the police to report the accident.
The vehicle’s grill was left behind, though, which ultimately allowed the police to determine a white Nissan Pathfinder caused the accident. The police were able to track down the vehicle, which showed airbag deployment and the missing grille.
