Two police officers were hospitalized after an accident in Philadelphia, according to police reports. The Philadelphia Police Department reported that the accident occurred at the intersection of Germantown and Glenwood avenues. It occurred at about 12:34 a.m. on a Wednesday morning.
Initial information about the incident in East Germantown indicates that a police cruiser was hit by a green Honda HR-V that also entered the intersection. The force from the strike caused the police cruiser to hit a nearby telephone pole before it came to a stop. The Honda was disabled in the middle of the intersection with significant front-end damage.
The driver of the Honda was not hurt. The two police officers were taken to a nearby hospital, but were conscious when first responders arrived. They are said to have minor injuries. A Philadelphia car accident lawyer from Kwartler Manus can assist with your case.
Securing Your Own Legal Support
In an accident like this, it is not fully clear who had the right of way and who caused the accident. Police say they are still investigating and have not determined if anyone will be charged. From an insurance standpoint, victims involved in accidents with police vehicles should always seek out their own attorney. That ensures you find all available evidence to build your case and claim.
