Overturned Tractor-Trailer on Gloucester City

A tractor-trailer was in a crash on Interstate 76 in Camden County, New Jersey, recently. The accident happened around 12:30 p.m. in the westbound lanes in Gloucester City close to the Walt Whitman Bridge.

According to police reports, there was another car involved in the crash, though it is unclear what happened to cause the two vehicles to collide. The force of the incident was so significant that the tractor-trailer was on its side and continued on with the car, with front-end damage some distance behind the truck. Luckily, there were only minor injuries reported in the incident.

What Makes Tractor-Trailer Accidents So Significant

When a truck accident occurs, the risks of serious injury and even fatalities are very high thanks to the weight, size, and overall speed at which these vehicles travel. Tractor-trailers can carry as much as 80,000 pounds of weight as they barrel through the roadway. If the driver is tired, takes their eye away from the road, or is unable to control the vehicle, the risk of an accident is very high.

For those who are hurt in a tractor-trailer accident, it is critical to seek help from a skilled truck accident lawyer in New Jersey. Doing so protects your right to compensation owed to you because of their negligence.
