Intersection Accidents in Pennsylvania
Wednesday’s crash at Westminster Ave and Plum Orchard Dr underscores the risks posed by routine travel through suburban intersections. Though not high-speed roadways, these neighborhood routes often see a steady stream of commuter and residential traffic, making them vulnerable to accidents—especially when drivers make sudden turns or fail to observe full stops.
Even at moderate speeds, collisions at intersections can lead to significant injuries and require fire and EMS intervention, as seen in this Penn Township incident. Contributing factors often include driver inattention, visibility issues, and confusion about right-of-way. Safety advocates continue calling for better signage and increased education, but driver awareness remains essential.
