Our weekly accident report for July 12th, 2017 looks at a fatal maritime work accident, two car accidents each involving just one driver, and a heroic rescue by a SEPTA police officer.
A 52-year old employee at Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia was killed in an accident on Monday, July 10th.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the accident was likely caused by a piece of heavy machinery knocking a container from the top of a stack, which then fell onto the employee's truck. The employee had been with the terminal for over 20 years. He worked as a checker - someone who counts containers and monitors operations.
The driver and four passengers of an SUV were injured after the driver lost control and crashed into a parked truck in the Somerton section of Philadelphia.
The driver and one of the passengers were trapped and had to be freed by firefighters. They were taken to Aria Health Torresdale in critical condition. The two other passengers are also hospitalized but in stable condition.
Police are currently investigating what may have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
A driver lost control of their car and crashed into a Dunkin Donuts shortly after midnight on Tuesday, July 10th in Montgomery County. The location was closed and unoccupied when the accident occurred, so no one was injured inside. The driver and one passenger suffered minor injuries.
The store was heavily damaged in the crash - with the car breaking through the brick siding and glass window before entering the interior of the store. Authorities have not disclosed the cause of the accident.
A SEPTA police officer saved a man who was left unconscious after crashing his car into the back of a garbage truck on Delaware Ave in Philadelphia on July 6th.
Sgt. Marc Pasquarella was initially going to wait for paramedics to arrive before the truck driver notified him that the car was on fire. The officer and two civilians struggled and eventually pulled the driver out of the vehicle just minutes before flames engulfed the car.

“I have been working since I was 14. I have probably held at least two dozen different jobs and I’ve seen people injured and hurt. One of the reasons I got involved with disability law is that I have a very good family friend who has been disabled his entire life, and I’ve seen how he’s struggled in order to keep working and try to work. When I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with what’s called “disability law,” I was really thrilled to be able to not only practice being an attorney, but helping other people who really need to know things about what their choices are, what they can do, and what their future may hold.
I am originally from Maple Glen, PA and is a life-long Eagles fan.
I have focused on helping individuals with their workers’ compensation, social security disability and long-term disability claims, as well as obtaining financial security for individuals who have had accidents.
As part of helping workers’ and their families, I have also been active in teaching continuing legal education courses to other attorneys, provide free seminars and webinars to the public on how to protect their rights, and I am active in various organizations such as the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives, the Injured Workers’ Bar Association and the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group.”
