Three Injured in Asphalt Truck Accident on Highway 172 in Onslow County, North Carolina


ONSLOW COUNTY, NC — A chain-reaction accident sent three individuals to the hospital in Onslow County, North Carolina on Friday, September 12th, 2014, according to the news article from WITN.

Investigators think that Larry Flescher was one of three indivduals that was seriously hurt when an asphalt truck is believed to have collided with another vehicle after crossing the center line of Highway 172 and hitting two vehicles for reasons currently under investigation on Sneads Ferry Bridge.

The drivers of both vehicles were rushed to Onslow Memorial Hospital, while the driver of the asphalt truck, identified as Larry Flescher was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

The North Carolina State Police is still investigating the accident details at this time.

Scene of the Accident

Commentary:

The fact that witnesses reported the asphalt truck as the vehicle that sparked the accident when it crossed the median of the road is something that needs to be investigated. If true, then the asphalt truck’s parent company is probably cooking up strategies to insulate their bottom line from home. Unfortunately trucking companies wield hundreds of accidents worth of experience defending themselves in cases like this one, whereas victims have only experienced one or two collisions in their entire lives. This is why battling these companies alone can be a huge mistake. Arming yourself with equal experience is one of the only way to go toe-to-toe with this industry.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
