Man Dies From Injuries Suffered In Tractor-Trailer Accident

Tractor-trailer accident: A Pennsylvania man has died from injuries he suffered when his pick-up truck crashed with a tractor-trailer in New Jersey, reports the Gloucester County Times. The passenger truck flipped on its side coming to rest against an abandoned building.

A typical fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh close to 80,000 pounds, while an average passenger automobile weighs only 3,000 pounds. Due to this size disparity, and the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries. If you have been injured, or a loved one has died, in a commercial trucking accident, you need the experienced lawyers of Munley, Munley & Cartwright to protect your rights.

The 59-year-old-driver and his passenger had to be cut from the 1997 Ford F-150 pick-up.  They were then airlifted to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where the driver was pronounced dead from severe head injuries he sustained in the crash.  The passenger was hospitalized with a concussion.

The driver of the 2006 Freightliner tractor-trailer was uninjured.

If you have been injured or a loved one killed in a vehicle accident that was caused by another person’s carelessness or recklessness, you may be able to recover damages that include medical costs, property loss, lost wages, and pain and suffering.  Please call Munley, Munley & Cartwright’s lawyers at 1-800-318-LAW1 for a free assessment of your case or use our free online accident case evaluation.
