West Hempfield Township, PA (January 16, 2025) – According to local authorities, a two-vehicle truck crash causing traffic disruptions was reported in Lancaster County on Thursday, per officers' latest reports.
Crews responded to the wreck at Old Chickies Hill and Chickies Hill Roads in West Hempfield Township around 1:00 p.m. The crash was blocking traffic and causing delays in the area. At this time, it's unclear how many injuries were confirmed at the site, though EMTs were spotted assessing victims. However, their current conditions are unknown, and an investigation into the cause of the accident is still ongoing.
Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery at this challenging time.
Thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur in our state 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 multi-driver 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.
Pennsylvania had around 10,000 to 12,000 truck accidents in the same year, meaning that our state ranked fourth for these semi-truck severe collisions. Approximately 250 to 300 people lost their lives in these incidents, and more than 4,000 to 5,000 were injured. That said, those interested in filing claims against the insurance company of an at-fault truck driver in a Pennsylvania truck accident may face an uphill battle. In other words, victims do not deal with the average motorist in these claims.
Regrettably, many insurance companies are concerned with minimizing their financial liability and increasing their profits to benefit their bottom line. Furthermore, since trucking companies are involved, victims are often up against well-funded enterprises that have an army of attorneys fighting for their interests, leaving victims and their families to attempt to cover their losses out of their pocket. 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.
