  • Ten Injured in New Jersey School Bus Crash

    Ten Injured in New Jersey School Bus Crash

    On Tuesday afternoon, six students, a school bus driver, and three others were injured in a crash involving a school bus in South Jersey. According to police, a school bus and car collided at the intersection of Harford and Borton Landing roads in Moorestown Township. 

    The students, bus driver, and three occupants in the other vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. Remaining uninjured students on the bus were transferred to the nearest school to be picked up by family members. Officials said that counselors will be available to any students who need support following the crash.

    Local news at the scene reported seeing a yellow school bus on the side of the road with visible front-end damage, along with a dark-colored sedan with damage to the passenger side doors.

    Crashes involving school buses can be especially concerning because of the size and weight differences between buses and other vehicles. School buses are designed to protect students through structural safety features, but the forces involved in a collision can still cause injuries, particularly when students are seated without seat belts or when the bus stops suddenly. 

    For occupants of smaller passenger vehicles, impacts with a school bus can be especially severe due to the height and mass of the bus, which can lead to significant vehicle damage even at lower speeds. Intersections are a common location for collisions, as drivers must navigate turning traffic, traffic signals, and changing right-of-way conditions.

  • U.K. Driver Charged in Death of Uber Driver

    U.K. Driver Charged in Death of Uber Driver

    A man from the United Kingdom has been charged in connection with the death of an Uber driver following a police pursuit and fatal crash in Gloucester County on Sunday. Officials said the incident began after a PNS Gas and Food Mart reported a disturbance involving two intoxicated men at the station on Hessian Avenue.

    When officers arrived, they witnessed a white vehicle matching the description the employee provided leaving the station. Police attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled the scene, veered into the opposite lane, and collided with a second vehicle operating as an Uber at the intersection of Red Bank Avenue and Hessian Avenue.

    The Uber driver was killed in the crash. The Uber passenger, along with the driver and passenger in the white car, sustained injuries and were transported to a local hospital.

    Surveillance footage from nearby businesses captured the white car speeding down Hessian Avenue and crossing Red Bank Avenue moments before impact. The driver has been charged with death by auto and assault by auto.

    The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office and the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating the crash.

  • Cyclist Struck and Killed on Black Horse Pike

    Cyclist Struck and Killed on Black Horse Pike

    On Thursday, a bicyclist was struck and killed in Washington Township, Gloucester County. According to police, it occurred around 9 p.m. at the intersection of Black Horse Pike and Berlin Cross Keys Road. 

    Surveillance footage from a nearby business appears to show the westbound bicycle crossing the intersection when the southbound vehicle crashes into it from Black Horse Pike. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the driver remained, and the incident is under investigation.

    Under New Jersey law, drivers and bicyclists are required to follow the same traffic signals, lane markings, and right-of-way rules at intersections. Motorists must yield to cyclists lawfully crossing within an intersection and maintain a minimum distance of four feet when passing. Bicyclists are required to use front and rear lights at night and remain as close to the righthand side of the road as possible. 

    Safety is a shared responsibility on New Jersey roadways. Because collisions between vehicles and bicycles can result in catastrophic or fatal injuries, both drivers and cyclists must remain alert and strictly follow traffic laws, particularly at intersections.

  • Gloucester County Multi-Vehicle Crash Claims the Life of a Driver

    Gloucester County Multi-Vehicle Crash Claims the Life of a Driver

    A tragic multi-vehicle crash on Route 55 in Gloucester County claimed the life of a 63-year-old man and left others injured on Friday night. The collision involved three vehicles and resulted in a fire that required emergency responders to act quickly to secure the scene.

    According to reports from the New Jersey State Police, the incident occurred around 10:00 p.m. A Jeep SUV collided with a Nissan SUV, triggering a secondary collision with a Ford passenger car. The Jeep ultimately came to rest in the center median and caught fire. The driver of the Jeep, a 63-year-old resident of Newfield, was pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the Nissan and the driver of the Ford sustained minor injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.

    Accidents of this magnitude involve complex legal questions, such as whether road conditions, vehicle maintenance, or driver behavior played a role, and whether other parties may be held responsible. Determining liability can be particularly challenging in multi-vehicle collisions that result in serious injuries or fatalities.

  • Driver Killed in Fiery Single-Vehicle Crash in Gloucester County

    Driver Killed in Fiery Single-Vehicle Crash in Gloucester County

    A Camden man was killed early Saturday in a fiery crash on Interstate 295 in Gloucester County. According to the New Jersey State Police, he was traveling south on I-295 around 1:12 a.m. when he apparently lost control of the vehicle near milepost 9.4 in Logan Township. 

    Police said the driver ran off the roadway, struck a parked Kia vehicle and continued into a wooded area, where he crashed into some trees and a fence, before stopping and becoming fully engulfed in flames. Upon hitting the trees, the driver was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

    The Kia was unoccupied and no other injuries were reported. The case remains under investigation, and no additional information has been released.

    Pressman, Doyle, Bloom, & York extends our sincerest condolences to those affected by this tragic crash. Fatal single-vehicle accidents like this often lead to investigations into potential contributing factors such as vehicle defects, unsafe roadway conditions, or negligence. 

    In New Jersey, surviving family members may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim if dangerous conditions or someone else’s negligence contributes to a fatal accident, helping families seek accountability and financial stability following an unimaginable loss.

  • School Bus Carrying Students Collides With Car in South Jersey

    School Bus Carrying Students Collides With Car in South Jersey

    A school bus carrying students and a sedan collided in a South Jersey intersection Thursday afternoon. The crash occurred near Tanyard and Cattell roads just before 4 p.m., according to the Deptford Township Police Department.

    The bus, operated by Holcomb Bus Service, said approximately 20 students from the Deptford School District were on board at the time of the collision, and were returned to their schools to be picked up by their families. No one on the bus, including the driver, reported any injuries, according to a company spokesperson. The vehicle driver was taken to an area hospital in unknown condition.

    It is unclear what caused the collision. The Deptford Township Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit and Patrol Division is investigating.

    Crashes involving school buses raise serious safety concerns, even when students are fortunate enough to avoid injury. Because buses are large vehicles carrying dozens of children, collisions at intersections can easily result in multiple injuries at once. Nationally, left-hand turns, blind spots, and distracted or speeding drivers are the most common causes of bus-related accidents. When other motorists are involved, the smaller vehicle typically suffers the most damage, and drivers or passengers often suffer significant and severe injuries. 

    Injuries from car accidents can result in costly medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

  • Driver’s Body Recovered After Truck Crashes From Bridge Into Delaware River

    Driver’s Body Recovered After Truck Crashes From Bridge Into Delaware River

    The driver of a tractor-trailer cab that plunged over the side of the Delaware Memorial Bridge into the Delaware River early Friday has been found and recovered. After a 36-hour search, recovery crews located the Brooklyn man’s body in the truck cab 20 feet underwater. 

    The Delaware Memorial Bridge connects Delaware and New Jersey and is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA). According to the DRBA, around 3 a.m., the driver crossed three lanes of traffic on the southbound bridge span, crashed through a concrete barrier, and plunged into the river.

    Search and rescue crews found the truck in the water on Friday but were unable to locate and remove the man’s body using a Hurst tool until Saturday, officials reported. His remains have been transported to the Delaware Medical Examiner’s Office as investigators try to determine the cause of the crash. A crane and barge were used to recover the truck cab, which is registered to XFR8 LLC in West Chester Township, Ohio.

    Emergency crews from the U.S. Coast Guard, Delaware State Police Marine Dive Unit, Holloway Terrace Fire Company, and other first responders, worked together in the search and recovery efforts. Officials from the DRBA said the bridge has been assessed and is structurally safe and will continue to operate normally.

  • Police Search for Driver After Deadly Hit-and-Run at Cottman and Brous in Philadelphia

    Police Search for Driver After Deadly Hit-and-Run at Cottman and Brous in Philadelphia

    Late Thursday night, a woman was tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash in Northeast Philadelphia, and authorities are still searching for the driver responsible. The incident occurred just before midnight at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Brous Avenue. 

    According to police, the victim was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound on Cottman, and the force of the collision was so great that one of her sneakers was found nearly 200 feet away from where her body was discovered. The Chief Inspector noted the distance as a possible indicator that speed may have played a role. The woman, who has not yet been identified, suffered severe injuries to her head and torso and died shortly after being transported to the hospital.

    Despite increased public awareness campaigns and Vision Zero initiatives, Philadelphia continues to see a troubling number of pedestrian fatalities. Poor lighting, distracted driving, and excessive speed all contribute to the danger.

  • Two Killed After Vehicle Falls Off I-95 in Port Richmond

    Two Killed After Vehicle Falls Off I-95 in Port Richmond

    Four New Jersey men in a Mazda fell over the edge of northbound Interstate 95 in Port Richmond on Friday. According to witnesses, the driver was racing a Dodge Challenger before losing control, striking a barrier, and crashing over the edge of the road.

    Two unrestrained backseat passengers and a puppy were ejected from the vehicle and killed. The driver and front passenger were transported to nearby hospitals in critical condition.

    The crash remains under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police.

    In densely populated urban areas like Philadelphia, the consequences of reckless driving behaviors, such as speeding and racing, are severe. Philadelphia has the highest number of traffic-related deaths in the state, an alarmingly high per-capita rate more than twice that of New York City.

    Speeding is a leading factor in fatal crashes. At higher speeds, the force of a collision increases exponentially and significantly increases the risk of severe injuries and fatalities. In Pennsylvania, nearly one-third of all fatal crashes involve speeding, and the risk is even greater when combined with aggressive driving or street racing.
