Philadelphia, PA (October 3, 2023) – A teenager died as a result of a fatal collision that occurred in the Philadelphia area.

The accident occurred at around 5:50 p.m. on October 1.

According to reports provided by the Pennsylvania State Police, a 14-year-old took a car at a high rate of speed on the eastbound side of Interstate 76 during the evening hours. The vehicle, a black Hyundai Sonata, failed to yield to the police as an officer attempted to pull over the vehicle due to it being reported stolen earlier in the day.

The vehicle sped away and became involved in a collision. The vehicle struck a concrete barrier before rolling over multiple times near mile marker 342.2.

A 15-year-old passenger was ejected from the crash.

The ejected passenger and three other people in the vehicle were injured. The victims were transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for emergency care. Authorities confirm that the 15-year-old passed away after arriving.

The driver of the vehicle is now facing charges of vehicular homicide.

The crash is being investigated.

We hope the injured victims recover quickly.

Our sympathies are with the family of the teen who died in this crash.

Fatal Car Accidents in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA – Fatal Crash on I-76 near MM 342.2 Takes One LifeFatal car accidents are often devastating for families. Unfortunately, more than 1,000 people die as a result of collisions that occur in Pennsylvania each year. In most cases, these crashes are preventable. We see innocent people lose their lives as a result of drivers who are speeding, fail to yield, or run red lights at intersections.

When innocent people lose their lives as a result of collisions, families are often able to take legal action against those who are responsible. Filing a wrongful death claim can provide your family with financial compensation to alleviate some of the impacts that a fatal accident can have.

One of the most common damages that families recover in fatal collision cases is medical expenses. Families have the ability to recover money to cover the cost of medical care from the time of the accident leading up to the death of the victim. In addition, families are able to seek compensation to alleviate the impact of funeral expenses and burial fees. Other damages that families seek and wrongful death claims include loss of consortium, loss of services, and more.

Working with a wrongful death lawyer in Philadelphia will help to ensure your family has the best chance of protecting your rights in getting justice. Your attorney will be able to gather evidence for you, build a strong case against the defendant, and demand full and timely compensation for your losses.
