A crash took place on the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension, I-476, in Lehigh County recently. There is limited insight into what happened or the exact number of people involved. However, reporters shared that the accident occurred around 2 p.m. in the northbound lanes between the Quakertown and Lehigh Valley exits.
The news helicopters were able to capture footage of several severely damaged cars, which were being towed away from the accident at the time. At least three tow trucks were present. It took several hours for the accident to be cleared fully, and traffic was backed up for miles as a result.
Multi-Car Accident Challenges
For victims in a multi-car accident, it can be difficult to fight for full and fair compensation. Proving that another driver was at fault can be challenging because there may be numerous factors that contributed to the accident, especially if it triggered a chain reaction.
One way a car accident lawyer can assist is by attempting to recreate the incident using specialized software and expert testimony. It may be possible to determine the cause of the accident based on factors such as witness statements and images from dash camera footage. Police did not initially release any details about what they knew caused the accident. For victims, however, obtaining those answers is essential.
