Philadelphia, PA – Car Accident Leads to Injuries in SB Lanes of I-95

Philadelphia, PA (January 19, 2023) – Injuries were reported in a serious car accident that took place on a highway in Philadelphia on Thursday evening, January 19.

Philadelphia Police confirmed that the collision took place around 6:51 p.m. in the southbound lanes of I-95 around the area of Linden Avenue. Police confirmed that several vehicles were traveling in the area when they collided with each other due to reasons that are not entirely known. The involved vehicles were badly damaged in the collision and had to be towed from the scene.

Several responders, including paramedics and Philadelphia fire crews, were immediately dispatched to the scene to help those in need. One or more individuals, who have not yet been identified, were hurt in the accident. The injured parties were taken to local hospitals for treatment, though their conditions are not yet known.

The roadway was blocked in several southbound lanes of traffic for some time after the accident. This led to delays until police cleared the scene.

We offer our warmest sympathies to those injured in this accident. We hope that they receive a full recovery from their injuries.
