Philadelphia, PA (January 17, 2022) – On Monday, January 17, a rollover crash with injuries occurred on a major highway in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia officials confirmed that the accident happened at 9:43 a.m. A sedan and an SUV were traveling in the eastbound lanes of traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway around the area of Blue Route.
