Catering Truck Accident Leaves Trail of Food in Parking Lot

Elkhart, ID- A bizarre accident between a catering truck and a passenger vehicle left a trail of food in a local theatre parking lot.

Elkhart police responded to the accident scene and found a catering truck on its side just steps away from the entrance to the Encore Theatre.

According to police the driver of the catering truck clipped the rear end of a vehicle as they both traveled northbound on Cassopolis Street.

The catering truck then jumped the curb of the theatre parking lot and hydroplaned on its side, leaving a long line of hors d’oeuvres behind it.

Customer at nearby restaurant rushed to help the truck driver who was not injured. The truck however sustained significant damage. Fortunately there were no cars in the parking lot.

Accidents are unintentional, but are often caused by inattention or distraction of a driver. Large trucks can cause a lot of damage to property or serious personal injury and sometimes death. A truck accident attorney can help the victims of these collisions recover the cost associated with their medical care or property replacement. A truck accident lawyer wants to make sure none of the costs come out the victim’s pocket and they receive all the funds they need.

When a truck accident lawyer is working on a case, the victims can rest with the assurance that they will receive the maximum amount of compensation allowable by law.
