A driver struck a SEPTA bus in the Logan section of Philadelphia at around 3 a.m. on a Thursday, according to police. The driver then fled the scene of the accident. The incident happened on North Broad Street near Rockland Street. In this situation, the bus driver did not have any serious injuries reported initially.
Car accident lawyers often face cases in which a SEPTA or other city-wide bus system causes injuries to riders or pedestrians. However, there are times when another driver can strike a bus and cause injuries to the driver or other passengers. In any of these situations, having legal representation can make a significant difference in your ability to seek compensation for any losses you have in a fair manner.
Damage to the Street Signs and More
According to police, the bus driver was not hurt in this accident, and there were no other reported injuries. However, the driver’s impact on the SEPTA bus was so significant that it caused the bus to take down a street sign, which led to a pole falling on top of the vehicle. The driver then took off. Police are asking for the public’s help in determining who the driver was and any other details about what could have occurred.
