Dauphin County, PA (May 27, 2025) – Two individuals were injured Sunday morning in a three-vehicle crash that overturned one of the cars at a busy intersection in Dauphin County. The accident occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. on May 25, 2025, at the intersection of Jonestown Road and Colonial Road, according to reports from the Colonial Park Fire Company.
Emergency personnel arrived on scene to find one of the vehicles flipped onto its roof following the multi-car impact. Medics from local EMS units assessed the occupants involved and confirmed that two individuals sustained injuries. The victims were treated at the scene and transported for further evaluation as a precaution.
The crash caused lane blockages and delays as first responders worked to stabilize the scene and clear the damaged vehicles. The flipped car drew the most attention as fire crews carefully worked to ensure no one remained trapped. Fortunately, all parties were able to exit the vehicles before being transported.
The specific cause of the crash has not yet been determined, and authorities continue to investigate. Witness accounts and vehicle damage assessments will play a role in identifying contributing factors such as speed, distraction, or failure to yield.
We wish a full and swift recovery to those who were injured in Sunday’s collision.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Pennsylvania Intersections
Crashes involving three or more vehicles—like the one reported at Jonestown Rd and Colonial Rd—frequently occur in high-traffic intersections, particularly in suburban areas like Colonial Park. These incidents often result in complex crash dynamics, where the actions of one driver quickly involve others, increasing both injury potential and investigative difficulty.
The vehicle rollover in this case is especially concerning, as rollover accidents carry a heightened risk of serious injuries. Even when victims are fortunate enough to suffer only minor harm, the trauma and disorientation of such a crash can have lasting effects.
Intersections such as Jonestown Rd and Colonial Rd see consistent vehicle flow throughout the day, particularly during morning commute hours. Crashes at these locations are commonly tied to red-light running, misjudged turns, or distractions like mobile device use.
For those involved, even minor injuries may require medical follow-up, rehabilitation, or missed time from work. Dealing with multiple insurance providers and determining liability in a multi-vehicle accident can add significant stress to an already challenging situation.
