Corry, PA-20 January 2012

At around 5:30 Wednesday evening, Pennsylvania state police were called to the scene of a two-car accident on Rt. 6, just east of the Rt. 89/Rt. 6 intersection, and due west of down town Corry, PA.

It has been reported that both vehicles had more than one passenger and that as many as six people were injured in the devastating crash. Police report that both vehicles were completely totaled in what looks to be a head on collision. All victims were taken to UPMC Hamot, and two of them had to be flown by Lifestar from the scene of the collision. At this time, there is no update as to the conditions of those involved in the crash.

Speeding and weaving in and out of traffic are dangerous driving behaviors that often lead to tragic traffic collisions. Head-on collisions are usually fatal and are often due to vehicles crossing over the double-yellow line, or median, driving directly into the path of on-coming traffic. Although this accident occurred in Corry, head-on collisions can happen anywhere, so it is important to always drive carefully.

If involved in an accident such as this it is important that all parties know their rights. Finding a no-nonsense attorney as soon as possible is the best thing a victim can do for themselves. Often times, when someone is injured in a car accident they settle for an insurance company's lowest bid. Under the counsel of a trusted lawyer, victims are regularly compensated far more than they originally assume.
