On Saturday, April 28, a tractor-trailer that was carrying watermelons overturned near the Walt Whitman Bridge on I-95. Some of the load of watermelons spilled onto the highway and one struck another vehicle. The driver of the vehicle that was struck lost control and ran off the road stopping against the guardrail. The driver was trapped in his vehicle and had to be cut free. He was then taken to Jefferson Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The debris from the accident covered a large portion of the road and two lanes of traffic needed to be shut down on I-95 as well as Exit 19. The accident is being investigated.

“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.
