Margate Parks, FL (November 12, 2023) – A City of Margate Parks and Recreation truck was involved in a crash on Saturday evening that sent three people to a local hospital with injuries.
On November 11, the Margate Police Department and firefighters were called to the scene of a crash that took place on Florida State Route 7.
According to official reports, the commercial vehicle was traveling in the area near the GameStop store, which is located in a strip mall near the intersection of Florida State Route 7 and Atlantic Boulevard. For unknown reasons, the vehicle became involved in a collision with a second vehicle, which caused the commercial vehicle to plow through the storefront, causing significant damage.
Three people were injured as a result of the accident. The victims were transported to North Broward’s Trauma Center for emergency care.
At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope the three injured parties recover quickly.
Commercial truck accidents are often devastating. Regrettably, we see countless people hurt as a result of these accidents in Florida each year. Unfortunately, there are various factors that can lead to these accidents taking place.
One of the primary factors contributing to these incidents is driver fatigue. Long hours on the road can lead to drowsiness and decreased reaction times, increasing the likelihood of an accident occurring. Distractions also play a significant role in commercial vehicle collisions. Whether it is the use of electronic devices, eating behind the wheel, or simply being mentally distracted with other tasks while driving.
Poor vehicle maintenance and equipment failure are additional common causes of truck accidents. Worn-out brakes or faulty tires pose serious risks when operating a large truck or van.
If you have been hurt as a result of a truck accident, it is imperative to have a thorough investigation performed to determine who is liable for any of your injuries and the damages that you have suffered. Due to the fact that these vehicle accidents are often more complex, there are several parties who may be held liable. It is crucial to be able to identify all of the liable parties so that you can take legal action against them. Working with a commercial vehicle accident lawyer will provide you with the best chance of getting justice.
