Early this morning, a Chevrolet Impala crashed
head-on into a trash truck on Edmonston Road near Old Baltimore Pike. The driver of the car and one of the passengers unfortunately did not
survive from the injuries sustained, while another passenger suffered critical
injuries and two others suffered non-life threatening injuries. The truck driver also sustained critical
injuries in the crash, but they are not believed to be life-threatening.
This
accident, like most accidents involving trucks, shows the terrible damage that
can occur as a result of the size and power of large trucks. Initial reports appear to show that the accident
occurred as a result of the car crossing over the double yellow lines. It is still unknown what exactly caused the
driver of the car to cross over the lines into oncoming traffic and if the truck
driver is at fault in any way.
Truck
accidents, including those involving trash trucks, often result in devastating
injuries and catastrophic damage, but truck
accident cases are often complicated and require attorneys who have many
years of experience representing clients injured in truck accidents. The size and weight of trash trucks and other
large commercial vehicles make them very dangerous when on the road. Truck accidents often involve several other
cars, thereby making it very important for someone involved in a truck accident
to hire an experienced attorney. Injuries
resulting from truck accidents can be devastating and many times injured
victims are unable to recover enough money to cover their damages.
