Philadelphia, PA (February 24, 2023) – On Friday, February 24th, a major vehicle accident involving two to three drivers took place on a highway near Philadelphia, injuring a handful of people.
The multi-vehicle accident reportedly occurred on westbound I-76 near Highway 13 in Philadelphia at around 4:50 p.m., according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
All vehicles were severely damaged in the collision, the cause of which is still unknown.
