Vehicle Passenger Causes Accident At Church

The other day, a car crashed into a Center City church. At around 2:30 a.m. last Sunday, the Church of the Holy Trinity suffered minor damage to the steps in front of their building. The driver of the vehicle stayed on scene, but the passenger fled on foot.

The driver told police that the passengers jerked the steering wheel and caused the crash.

We bring you this story to highlight just how dangerous it can be in and around the roadways each day. While we do everything we can to be safe when we go out, we cannot control the actions of other drivers, or in this case, their passengers. Luckily, this accident happened early in the morning and nobody was harmed.

But do you know where to turn if you are injured in a vehicle accident?

The Reality

It is not uncommon for someone to suffer from paralysis due to a spinal cord injury or from long-term disability due to a traumatic brain injury.

Did you know that the first-year costs for a spinal cord injury can reach over $1 million?
