Philadelphia, PA (May 13, 2024) – A motor vehicle accident reported in North Philadelphia on Saturday left multiple people injured. The collision was reported at around 10 p.m. on May 11.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims. We hope for their full recovery.
In 2022, Pennsylvania saw about 116,000 car accidents on its roads. These incidents were not just numbers; they led to the tragic loss of 1,179 lives and caused injuries to more than 67,000 people. Even though this number is among the lowest of traffic accident totals our state has recorded since the 1950s, the impact of each accident can be deeply traumatic for those involved.
Car accidents often result in severe injuries that can change a person's life in an instant. From head traumas to deep cuts and other serious injuries, the physical toll can be immense. Beyond the physical injuries, the emotional and psychological effects can be lasting. It's sad to note that many of these accidents could have been avoided, as roughly 90 percent of them are due to careless behavior on the road. Whether it's speeding, driving under the influence, or just plain recklessness, these actions put everyone at risk.
