The car accident caused injuries to four people, with one victim being airlifted to the hospital. The investigation into the multivehicle wreck is ongoing, and citations may be issued in the future.
In the case of a car wreck where multiple injuries occur, contacting an attorney should be a priority for the injured parties. If the victims are severely injured and end up missing lengthy times of work, they may be able to pursue damages through an injury claim. Medical bills and trauma associated with the crash are also potentially compensable if an injury claim is filed.
