1 Dead, Several Injured In 7-Vehicle Westmoreland Co. Crash
A pickup truck legally entered the intersection from Mark Drive when it was T-boned by a tractor-trailer. Initial reports indicate the tractor-trailer may have run the red light.
Witness Joseph Tatters says he watched in disbelief as the westbound tractor trailer broadsided the pickup.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
