Around 10:30 am on Friday, April, 28 a crash occurred on I-95 near the Cottman Avenue exit involving an overturned truck. The accident occurred when a silver SUV crashed into the side of the truck leaving a giant hole in the side of it and spilling some kind of material onto the road. The truck turned over onto its side causing major traffic delays in the area. The truck was blocking 2 southbound lanes and emergency crews were blocking 2 northbound lanes leaving only 2 lanes open for traffic in each direction. One person was taken to the hospital as a result of the crash.
On Monday, April 30, a multi-vehicle crash occurred on Route 322 around 10:30 am. Three vehicles were involved in the crash including a dump truck. The accident caused hours of traffic delays because crews needed to shut down a section of 322 which didn’t reopen until about 2:30 pm. One driver was trapped in their vehicle and needed to be rescued. He was taken to Crozer Hospital where he later passed away. Two other drivers sustained non-life-threatening injuries which were treated at the scene. The cause of the crash has not been determined.
Just before 2:30 pm on Monday, April 30, a 78-year-old woman was driving her Hyundai Sonata in Elsmere, DE when she crossed over the westbound lanes of Kirkwood Highway into the eastbound lanes by way of the crossover “For Official Use Only” then hitting a vehicle traveling eastbound, driven by an 18-year-old man. This caused the man’s vehicle to run into a utility pole. Rescue workers helped to free the man from his vehicle and he was taken to Christiana Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. The driver of the Hyundai Sonata had an 81-year-old passenger in her car with her and they were both also taken to Christiana Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
“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.

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.”
