Philadelphia, PA - Two Injured in Two-Car Accident at 63rd St & Lindbergh Blvd

Philadelphia, PA (December 1, 2024) – Two drivers were hurt after one ran a red light and collided with another car that was passing through a Southwest Philadelphia intersection on Saturday afternoon, November 30, according to a spokesperson with the Philadelphia Police Department.

The crash happened just before 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of South 63rd Street and Lindbergh Boulevard in the Elmwood section of Southwest Philly, police said. A 22-year-old man was driving southbound along South 63rd Street in a black-colored Toyota Camry when he crashed into a red-colored Jaguar F-Pace going eastbound on Lindbergh Boulevard that a 57-year-old woman was driving, police explained.

Medics transported both drivers to a nearby hospital where the man was placed in critical condition and the woman was placed in stable condition, officials said. The Crash Investigation Division is now investigating this incident. 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.
