Hit-and-Run Accident on I-81 Leaves Woman in Critical Condition
By Randy Appleton, Truck Accident Injury Attorney
Causing an accident is terrible, but fleeing the scene is far worse. Unfortunately, hit-and-runs are a common occurrence, as evidenced by the hit-and-run accident that occurred on I-81 north of Martinsburg, West Virginia (WV).
An SUV was hit in the rear by a tractor-trailer and the collision caused the SUV to hit a guardrail and flip over, according to the Herald-Mail.com. Did the tractor-trailer driver stop and help the victims inside the SUV? No.
The tractor-trailer fled the scene and the woman, along with her husband and young daughter were left to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, the make, model, registration and company of the tractor-trailer have yet to be determined.
The woman, who hails from Hagerstown, Maryland (MD), was seriously injured in the accident and she was listed in critical condition at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia (VA).
Hopefully the tractor-trailer driver will be discovered and apprehended. This was a terrible accident made only worse by the truck driver’s complete indifference to the welfare of the victims involved in the wreck.
