A rollover car crash involving two vehicles led to minor injuries and road closures recently. The incident happened on a Friday morning in Gloucester Township. One of the vehicles rolled over as a result of the sustained force, which ultimately caused Blackwood Clementon Road to be shut down at Cherrywood Drive for some time.
The police did not initially provide significant insight into what happened. Only minor injuries were reported.
When Minor Injuries Can Be Big Problems
In a car accident, it is quite common for victims not to know that they have serious injuries. For example, in a rollover, a person could have struck their head on the dashboard or roof of the vehicle. Right after, they are able to get out and seem fine, only to develop headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms of a concussion within the next day or so.
After any type of serious car accident, always get medical evaluations. Doing so, even when you feel fine, helps ensure there are no internal injuries, soft tissue injuries, or even brain trauma present. It could save your life.
It also helps document that your injuries are directly from the accident. If you go to the doctor a day later, insurance companies could challenge your claims of injuries unfairly.
