Police were called to the scene of an accident on the 1200 block of New Street in Bethlehem, PA. A two-vehicle crash left several people needing medical care.
The accident happened at around 12:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. Police believe the at-fault driver's vehicle caught fire. That left the driver trapped inside. There were two others in the other vehicle.
To further complicate the case, the crash caused a utility pole to fall. Live electrical lines were in the middle of the roadway. As a result, the three people had to be taken to an area hospital. It is not clear how severe the injuries were. A Bethlehem car accident lawyer from Kwartler Manus can help.
How to Gather Evidence in Your Car Accident
When you are in a car accident, one of the most important steps you can take is to gather as much evidence as possible at the scene. In a case like this, you may not have that opportunity since your injuries should be the focus of your efforts.
In other accidents, you can support your case and claim by gathering as much information as possible at the scene. Take photos of the accident and injuries. Document the people at the location. Then, get medical care.
