2 Teens Airlifted, 3 Hospitalized in Fiery Cape Crash
A fiery Cape crash in Harwich on Monday night left five teenagers injured after their vehicle veered off the road and caught fire. The incident occurred at approximately 10:48 p.m. on Queen Anne Road, near the power lines and Rebecca Road, according to the Harwich Fire Department.
Harwich police responding to the scene discovered the car had crashed through a guardrail and was ablaze. Four of the occupants had managed to escape the vehicle, but one teenager remained trapped inside. Officers acted swiftly, using a fire extinguisher to suppress the flames and successfully rescued the last occupant.
When firefighters arrived shortly afterward, the car was fully engulfed in flames, and a small brush fire had ignited nearby. Emergency responders provided treatment to all five teens at the scene. Three of the victims, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, were transported to Cape Cod Hospital. Two others, who sustained life-threatening injuries, were airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital for advanced care.
Harwich Police Lieutenant Aram Goshgarian identified the injured teens as three 18-year-olds and two 17-year-olds. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Harwich Police Department.
Types of Compensation at Stake for Victims
In cases like this, the victims and their families may face substantial physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Compensation could cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and even long-term care for those with permanent injuries. If negligence contributed to the crash, the victims might also be eligible for compensation related to lost wages or diminished earning capacity.
Additionally, property damage, psychological trauma, and future medical needs often factor into claims. For families dealing with the financial strain of medical bills and potential loss of income, pursuing rightful compensation can provide crucial relief.
