Dispatchers Called Medics to the Scene
After receiving a call, rescue teams were dispatched to the intersection at about 6:30 pm. The initial reports indicated a pickup truck was making a left-hand turn and the other vehicle was heading straight. It is unclear who had the right of way in the incident.
Though there were reported injuries, the drivers said they would get help on their own. The medical squads returned to service. However, fire crews were called to the accident scene to manage the hazardous materials leaking from the vehicles.
Complications at the Scene
The accident scene was dangerous itself. According to news reports, the location was within the Newportville Fire Company's district, but the township had previously disbanded the company. No fire police were assisting with traffic direction, so local law enforcement had to do so. This complicated the scene, as numerous errant drivers tried to drive through it.
Complicated Injuries Can Occur Later
In some cases, victims in accidents fail to get medical care believing they are okay. Complications arise, though, especially from traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding.
