The northbound lanes of Route 130 were shut down on Monday afternoon after an accident. Rescuers were called to the scene around 3:42 pm. The crash occurred at the intersection with Route 73 in Pennsauken.
It is not clear what caused the accident or how many vehicles were involved. The shutdown of the highway led to backups for some time. A Camden County car accident attorney from Kwartler Manus can help you fight for compensation.
Determining Right-of-Way at an Intersection
Car accidents happen in intersections for a common reason. Someone did not provide the right of way to another driver. Various factors can contribute to this, for example, road conditions, weather, or even lights not working. More commonly, they are due to factors like distraction, speeding, and running red lights.
In an intersection accident, police will gather as much data as possible to determine who had the right of way. In most situations, the driver going straight has the right to continue straight, while a driver turning left must wait. In situations where two vehicles crash head-on, police will look at factors such as which driver crossed the center line.
These decisions are fact-based, but there are times when responding police officers make mistakes. When that happens, it’s critical for all involved to seek legal representation.
