Police closed down a portion of I-95 on an early Saturday morning for a crash investigation, according to initial reports. Very limited information was available about what occurred along the stretch of the highway in Delaware County, but the incident was significant enough to result in the interstate’s closure for several hours.
The crash took place in the southbound lanes of I-95 in Chester, just past the Commodore Barry Bridge and 322 exit. The significant police response makes it clear the incident was significant, but no word on injuries was initially released. If you are injured in a crash, speak with a Delaware County car accident lawyer about your case.
How Police Investigate Crash Scenes
Many times, these investigations can be very frustrating to anyone who is stuck on the freeway. Yet, every detail of the scene is important to collect. Photographs, detailed witness statements, video of the area, and other forensic evidence are obtained. Most of the time, police at the location of the accident can determine the cause of the accident, often assigning blame to one or more drivers at that time.
However, that makes it even more important that police get it right. Determining who is at fault in a Pennsylvania car accident is crucial because it determines who will be responsible for the resulting losses. Sometimes, police do not have all the necessary information readily available.
