A driver along Vine Street near N. 15th Street in Philadelphia was involved in a single-car crash at about 3:15 a.m. Initial investigations found that the woman, who was in a gold Mercedes-Benz C300 traveling eastbound, seemed to have lost control of the vehicle and crashed.
The car jumped the curb on the south side of the street and struck a pole. It then continued forward, striking the wall of a former hospital building. The impact of the incident was so significant that the driver was ejected from the car.
Car accidents like this can be overwhelming for victims. In some situations, a medical emergency can cause a driver to suddenly lose control. An unknown vehicle may have caused the accident, or an animal may have run into the street. The damages can be significant, resulting in long-term injuries and losses.
When uncertain situations are involved, seeking the help of a Philadelphia car accident lawyer can be vital.
