Car Caught Fire in Crash
Police responded to the scene of the accident at East Lancaster Avenue close to the Downingtown Log House. Initial reports indicate that the driver lost control of the vehicle and left the roadway along the westbound lanes. That is when the vehicle crashed into a concrete retention wall. The crash caused the car to catch on fire.
Rescuers worked to remove the people and put out the fire. The driver died at the scene of the accident. Both a Downingtown police officer and a bystander pulled the passenger from the vehicle. However, their injuries were substantial, and they later died. Police closed down the roadway for several hours to investigate.
Potential Causes of Loss of Control
It's unclear what caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. A medical emergency could have been the underlying cause. Other times, drivers are distracted, under the influence, or fatigued. Getting answers will be important, especially for the family of the passenger who may have a right to seek compensation.
