A tragic accident took place at 11:45 pm at the intersection of 6th Street and Olden Avenue in Ewing Township, NJ, on a Sunday night. Police report that a person was in the northbound car lane along Olden Avenue when they were struck by a Toyota Tacoma.
The pedestrian was then struck a second time by another vehicle that was being driven by a resident of the area traveling in the northbound passing lane. The impact was so severe that the pedestrian’s belongings from within their bag were strewn throughout the area and across the street. The pedestrian died at the scene. Speak with an Ewing Township pedestrian accident lawyer at Kwartler Manus after the loss of a loved one.
A Complete Investigation Is Necessary
Both drivers stopped and remained at the scene of the accident. Police were investigating why the person was in the roadway and whether the drivers could have stopped or avoided the pedestrian. Both drivers are cooperating with authorities throughout the investigation.
In these situations, it may be wise for the victim's family to retain their own attorney to guide them in pursuing fair treatment and justice.
