A recent Saturday morning in Northeast Philadelphia involved several car accidents along Interstate 95, according to news reports. That includes a multi-vehicle crash that involved at least one vehicle with airbags deployed.
It is unclear what caused the multi-vehicle accident. However, there were reports that the highway was snow and slush-covered at the time. Drivers faced long delays navigating around this accident.
Additional accidents happened on I-95, including one near Academy Road with three other vehicles involved. Road and weather conditions likely contributed to this accident and others. Yet another accident happened near Aramingo Avenue. Overall, a dozen vehicles were seen on the side of the road.
Weather Does Not Change Responsibility
Weather conditions in Philadelphia certainly can be difficult to drive in. However, anyone who gets in their vehicle knowing the condition of the roads is taking on the responsibility for ensuring every other person is safe. That means that even if road conditions are poor, drivers are still accountable for the injuries and losses they cause to others. In these cases, having ample evidence to back up your claim can be important.
