Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Pennsylvania
Sunday’s multi-vehicle crash in Amity Township highlights the risks associated with high-traffic intersections and major highways in Pennsylvania. Benjamin Franklin Hwy is a busy corridor that serves both local and regional traffic, increasing the potential for chain-reaction crashes, particularly during evening travel hours. When multiple vehicles are involved, the likelihood of serious injuries rises, as more occupants are affected and collisions often occur at higher speeds.

Contributing factors in multi-vehicle collisions often include distracted driving, sudden stops, following too closely, and unsafe lane changes. In high-volume areas, even a brief lapse in attention can trigger a series of impacts.
