Philadelphia, PA (January 13, 2025) – At least four people were hurt, some having to be cut out of a wrecked car, in a crash along Philadelphia's Kelly Drive early on Monday.

The crash took place just after 12:30 a.m. on Monday, January 13, along Kelly Drive between the Strawberry Mansion Bridge and Fountain Green Drive in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia police accident investigators said that, for reasons still under police investigation, the driver of a southbound black Nissan crossed the double yellow line and struck a red Chevrolet going northbound. The Nissan then struck a tree on the northwest side of the road before stopping.

Two people were trapped in one of the cars and had to be rescued, investigators said. Later in the morning, the driver of the Nissan was listed in critical condition at a local hospital. At the same time, a Nissan passenger and both people in the Chevy were being treated in stable condition at area hospitals, police said. No further details were provided publicly, however, and officers asked witnesses to come forward.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery at this time.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania

Like residents of many other states, Pennsylvanians may be particularly concerned about the dangers and risks of truck accidents, especially when traversing the multi-lane roadways and heavily trafficked interstates spanning our state. Of course, Pennsylvania sees a lot of truck traffic because of the state's vast system of roads and interstates.

Moreover, accidents involving multiple drivers or large vehicles, such as trucks, are likely to be catastrophic and even deadly. For example, in one recent year alone, 166,833 truck accidents took place throughout the United States. Around 4,678 of them resulted in deaths. Though Florida, Texas, and California were the top states for these accidents, Pennsylvania wasn't far behind.

Approximately 250 to 300 people lost their lives in these incidents, and more than 4,000 to 5,000 were injured. That said, those interested in filing claims against the insurance company of an at-fault truck driver in a Pennsylvania truck accident may face an uphill battle. In other words, victims do not deal with the average motorist in these claims. Unfortunately, many insurance firms are solely interested in limiting their financial exposure and maximizing their earnings.

For these reasons and more, following a vehicle accident caused by another party's negligence, victims can and should take legal action with the help of a skilled attorney. Accident victims must reach out to a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer as soon as possible so that they can focus on recovery from their injuries rather than mounting medical bills.
