Trafford, PA (July 4, 2024) – An elderly woman was killed after a tree fell on her car following a crash during severe storms in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, officials said.
An 18-year-old has died after being involved in an accident where a falling tree hit him in Westmoreland County on the Fourth of July. North Huntingdon police said officers responded to Winchester Road in the Trafford Sportsmen's Club at about 11:40 a.m. Thursday. The coroner's office has not released the name of the person who died, and the incident remains under investigation. It's also unclear if any other injuries were reported, but an inquiry is ongoing.
We extend our deepest condolences to the deceased man's family. Our thoughts go out to any injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery at this time.
Pennsylvania is home to thousands of vehicle accidents annually, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities for many drivers. Like residents of many other states, Pennsylvanians may be particularly concerned about the dangers and risks of truck accidents, especially when traversing the multi-lane roadways and heavily trafficked interstates spanning our state. Of course, Pennsylvania sees a lot of truck traffic because of the state's vast system of roads and interstates.
Moreover, accidents involving multiple drivers or large vehicles are likely to be catastrophic and even deadly. For example, in one recent year alone, 166,000 of these accidents occurred throughout the United States, around 4,700 of which resulted in deaths. Though Florida, Texas, and California were the top states for these accidents, Pennsylvania wasn't far behind. That said, those interested in filing claims against the insurance company of an at-fault driver in a Pennsylvania accident may face an uphill battle.
For these reasons and more, following a vehicle accident caused by another party's negligence, victims can and should take legal action with the help of a skilled attorney.
