Schuylkill County, PA (June 28, 2025) – A tractor-trailer overturned Saturday morning along State Route 309, resulting in minor injuries to two occupants.
The crash occurred around 9 a.m. when the driver, a 31-year-old man from Nevada, lost control while descending Mile Hill. The vehicle crossed into the northbound lanes, struck and broke through a guardrail, and rolled down an embankment, coming to rest on its driver side. A 40-year-old male passenger from California was also in the vehicle at the time.
Both the driver and the passenger sustained minor injuries and were able to exit the truck without assistance. Emergency responders treated them at the scene, and they were transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no further details have been released about the condition of the individuals involved.
We extend our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to those injured in this accident.
Personal Injury Lawsuits in Pennsylvania
Across Northern Pennsylvania, injury-related accidents are rising on rural highways, icy sidewalks, and at industrial work zones. In cities and towns such as Wellsboro, Bradford, and Towanda, traffic on Route 6 and other two-lane roads increases the risk of highway collisions, especially during winter months.
Under Pennsylvania’s modified comparative fault law, injured parties may pursue compensation only if they are found less than 51% at fault. Even partial responsibility can significantly reduce the amount recovered. This legal nuance makes it essential to establish fault clearly through testimony from witnesses, photographic and forensic evidence, as well as skilled legal arguments by a personal injury attorney.
Victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania. Missing this deadline means permanently losing the right to pursue damages in court.
