At around 5:15 a.m., a driver struck a garbage truck along Black Horse Pike in Atlantic County, resulting in that driver dying from their injuries. Police were unsure what caused the accident to take place, but the garbage truck driver cooperated with the police.
Rear-end accidents are often thought to be the fault of the person who strikes the other from behind. However, that is not always the case. In some situations, drivers may not be able to see the truck in front of them due to a malfunctioning brake light. Other times, the truck could have pulled out in front of the vehicle, not providing enough room for the car to avoid it.
We do not know the specifics of this situation. As Atlantic County truck accident attorneys, we often work with clients who simply do not realize they have a case.
