Philadelphia, PA (November 21, 2022) – Just after 4:00 p.m. in the late afternoon hours of Monday, November 21, a multiple-vehicle crash that ended in possible injuries, affecting both drivers and passengers, took place in the greater Philadelphia area.
According to Philadelphia Police Department inquiries, the collision occurred on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 76 near Exit 341 to Montgomery Drive and South Street. As they merged into the right-hand lanes, two cars crashed for unknown reasons, causing significant damage to both vehicles and reported victim injuries.
Several first responders, including paramedics, firefighters, and others, were sent to the scene to assist any and all wounded people. No information is known on the severity of injuries or the current condition of the injured parties, however.
Investigations into the specifics of what caused the wreck continue. Anyone who saw or knows anything about the incident should call the PPD immediately.
