Cleveland, OH — At least two people were injured in an accident involving a dump truck in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday, January 20, 2015. The accident happened at the intersection of E. 38th Street and St. Clair Avenue.
At least two individuals were riding in a dump truck that crashed into the overpass on St. Clair. Emergency responders had to use the jaws of life to free the two from the vehicle.
One of those two was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, but there hasn’t been any information released on their condition. The names of the two individuals have not been released.
Police are currently investigating the accident.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
This really just sounds like a case where the driver forgets what road he’s on, drives under a bridge his vehicle has no clearance for, and gets stuck. Luckily, it could have been much worse than it was. Reports say that two people were inside the dump truck when the accident. I’m assuming the driver works for whoever owns the truck. But what about the passenger? If they both worked for the same company, then this will be taken care of through workers’ comp. But if the passenger was just a passenger, and not an employee, then they would have a claim against the driver. News reports have released only a few details on what happened here, so hopefully the police investigation will be able to shed more light on it in the coming days.
