Two People Killed in Blaze on Indiana 1-70 Following a Traffic Accident

Terre Haute, IN- Two people were killed Tuesday around 5 p.m. following a traffic accident involving two tractor-trailers on I-70, tying up traffic for hours.

The incident occurred in the eastbound lanes of I-70 when a tractor-trailer slowed down for a construction zone and was struck in the rear by another tractor-trailer, carrying two passengers. Police said the second tractor trailer failed to slow down as it approached the first truck.

The cab of the second truck caught on fire, killing the two passengers inside. The impact of the accident also caused the cab to separate from the trailer. Police do not know the identities of the victims.

The driver of the semi that was hit did not have any injuries and refused medical treatment on the scene.

Traffic accidents are frequently caused by inattentive or negligent drivers who do not consider the effect of their actions. Acting in a careless manner can not only have dire consequences for the reckless driver, but also for other people on the roads. An Indiana accident attorney can hold a negligent driver responsible for their actions by seeking compensation.

Those individuals, who incur a personal injury in an auto accident, are faced with high-dollar medical costs and possible short-term or long-term disability. They may lose valuable wages while they recover, and will need an accident lawyer to make certain they have all their expenses covered by the person who caused their injuries.

Traffic accident victims can get a sense of justice when they allow an accident attorney to be their champion, and file a lawsuit to recoup their financial losses and obtain damages for their pain and suffering.
