A person struck by several vehicles on I-95 in South Philadelphia died as they were struck while crossing the southbound lanes of the highway. The accident happened at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday evening at the Market Street on-ramp. The pedestrian’s story is tragic.
According to police reports, the pedestrian had just been involved in a single-vehicle crash. He had head injuries at the time. Another driver stopped to help him and called the police, as did the pedestrian. After the pedestrian got off the phone, witnesses say he stepped right into the right southbound lane of the on-ramp and was struck at that time.
Complex cases like this require the help and guidance of a skilled legal team. Whenever there is more than one accident, victim, or at-fault driver, a skilled and experienced Philadelphia car accident attorney is necessary to protect the victim’s rights to compensation.
The Second Driver Fled the Scene
This accident becomes even more complicated. After the pedestrian was struck by what is said to have been a silver sedan, that driver fled the scene. Then, the pedestrian was struck by two additional vehicles. Both of those drivers stopped at the scene. The pedestrian succumbed to injuries at the scene of the accident.
