A collision in Atlantic City resulted in a vehicle overturning. According to police reports, the driver of a Kia sedan went through a red light at the intersection of Providence and Atlantic Avenue at around 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon. It is then that the vehicle collided with a Hyundai, which was traveling north along Providence Avenue. The Hyundai driver had a green light.
There was so much force in the accident that the Hyundai rolled over. The Kia also left the roadway. Both drivers were hurt and required care. They were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Campus. Both are said to have non-life-threatening injuries. However, the driver of the Kia was cited for failure to stop at the traffic signal. The investigation is still ongoing.
Who Is At Fault When a Driver Runs a Red Light
When a driver runs a red light, it is very common for victims to suffer serious injuries due to the speed and overall force involved. The victim of the accident has the right to seek compensation for the losses they have, such as medical bills, lost time at work, and pain and suffering, from the at-fault party. In this case, the driver who ran the red light could be held accountable for the losses sustained by the other driver.
