Willow Grv, PA - Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-276 at Ft Washington

Willow Grove, PA (June 29, 2025) – A multi-vehicle crash early Sunday morning, June 29, left two people dead and two others hurt on the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 276) in Willow Grove.

Pennsylvania State Police were called out to the eastbound lanes of I-276 between the Willow Grove and Fort Washington exits around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Two vehicles initially collided in the right lanes, and after the initial crash, a third vehicle struck one of the crashed vehicles in the roadway.

Two occupants of the third vehicle sustained injuries, while two individuals from the other vehicles were pronounced dead at the scene. The eastbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike between the Willow Grove and Fort Washington exits were closed for several hours Sunday morning as police investigated. However, no further details were released at this time, and an investigation is still ongoing.

We extend our deepest condolences to the deceased victims' loved ones. Our thoughts also go out to the injured victims and their families. We hope for their full recovery at this time.

Fatal Vehicle Crashes in Pennsylvania

Our state, unfortunately, sees thousands of vehicle accidents annually, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities for many drivers. When traveling on the multi-lane freeways and highly frequented interstates that cover our state, Pennsylvanians may be particularly worried about the hazards and risks of these serious accidents, just like residents of many other states. This is especially true on highways with higher speeds and a ton of traffic. As a result of the extensive network of highways and interstates that Pennsylvania has, it is unsurprising that our state experiences a significant amount of fatal and injury-causing collisions.

Moreover, accidents involving multiple drivers are even more likely to be catastrophic and even deadly. For example, in one recent year alone, 166,000 of these accidents occurred throughout the United States, around 4,700 of which resulted in deaths. Though Florida, Texas, and California were the top states for these accidents, Pennsylvania wasn't far behind. That said, those interested in filing claims against the insurance company of an at-fault driver in a Pennsylvania accident may face an uphill battle.

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. If you've lost a loved one in a collision, you shouldn't wait to reach out to a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible.
