A truck accident caused serious personal injury to two individuals south of Allentown PA on July 13, 2018 on Route 100. The Route 100 accident involved a minivan and a tractor-trailer truck. The truck accident took place around 11:00 a.m. One of the injured victims was stuck in the minivan after the motor vehicle accident.

Route 100 was closed until 3:00 p.m. while crews cleaned up the Route 100 accident debris.
Our Lehigh Valley personal injury lawyers at the Trapani Law Firm would like to pass along our thoughts and prayers to those injured in this Route 100 accident. The Allentown car accident attorneys at the Trapani Law Firm suggest that anyone involved in a car accident, regardless of the degree, seek immediate medical treatment. “If you were in a Lehigh Valley car accident, it is important to get checked out, neck and back pain can be very serious and should not be ignored,” said Allentown personal injury attorney Matthew Trapani.
After a Lehigh valley car accident: First, check yourself and your passengers to see if anyone suffered a personal injury. Even a minor rear-end car accident can cause personal injuries that are not immediately obvious. Call for medical help. If a passenger has neck or back pain, do not move them. Do not leave the scene of an Allentown car accident until you have exchanged information and talked to the Allentown police department. Next, move your car out of traffic. Turn off the ignition, set the parking brake and turn on your hazard flashers. Call the local police, especially if anyone suffered an Allentown personal injury or if a driver is acting confrontational. Take down the police officer’s name; contact information and the car accident report number so that you or your Lehigh Valley personal injury lawyer can remain in contact. Gather the name, phone number, license plate number, and auto insurance information of all drivers involved in the Allentown car accident. Then use your cell phone camera to photograph car damage, license plates, driver’s licenses and insurance cards and any skid marks or other evidence that may not be available for long. Last, contact an experienced Lehigh Valley Personal Injury Attorney for further legal advice and possible representation.
