Four motorists suffered serious personal injuries in a horrific Philadelphia car accident that occurred over the weekend. The multi-vehicle accident shut down the southbound lanes of I-95 Friday night between Grand Avenue and Allegheny and backed up Philadelphia traffic for miles.
While the accident is still under investigation, Philadelphia police investigators said a southbound Subaru struck the rear of a Nissan Altima, setting off a chain reaction accident that also involved a Chrysler 300 and Dodge Intrepid. The force of the accident caused the Dodge Intrepid to overturn, severely injuring the driver who was not wearing a seatbelt. He was transported to Hahnemann University Hospital. The driver and two passengers in the Altima also incurred serious personal injuries and were taken to Philadelphia hospitals.
It can take months to unravel the details of serious personal injury car accidents, particularly when multiple vehicles are involved. For example, an exhaustive 6-month police investigation of a fatal December Philadelphia car accident just concluded last week, resulting in the arraignment of a 19-year-old Philadelphia man on charges of murder, vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter. The tragic December Philadelphia car accident took the lives of driver Zachary McGehrin's two teenaged passengers. Police investigators allege that McGehrin had marijuana in his system last December when he speed his car into a garbage truck without braking.
