Crash Into Porch and Then Home
The news reports about the collision noted that it occurred at about 2:30 am on Friday. The car first slammed into the front steps and porch of the home. It then slammed into the structure itself. It finally came to rest on the lawn of the home.
The crash took place in the 1500 block of Belmont Avenue in the Parkside area of the city. Police were investigating the accident but did not report any injuries or provide insight into why the vehicle crashed. Workers were called to the area to collect debris scattered throughout the area. They also had to work to dislodge the vehicle that was still partially stuck in the concrete porch it collided with during the crash.
Why Drivers Lose Control
Taking turns too fast, speeding, and impairment are just some of the most common reasons drivers lose control on roadways like this. At that time of the evening, the driver may have been fatigued and falling asleep at the wheel. In other cases, a medical event may have happened, or a driver may have tried to swerve to avoid striking another car or animal in the road.
In all cases, hire an attorney. A car accident lawyer in West Philadelphia can provide you with legal guidance. Contact Kwartler Manus for a free consultation after your accident.
