Car Accidents in Pennsylvania
Accidents resulting in injuries like broken bones are not uncommon in Pennsylvania, especially in urban areas such as Bethlehem. Collisions occurring near residential corridors like Hampton St often involve a combination of local traffic, pedestrians, and vehicles entering or exiting side streets—factors that increase the risk of serious outcomes.
