Highway Accidents in Pennsylvania
Highway accidents, such as the one on Route 222 in Spring Township, are common in Pennsylvania, particularly on high-speed roadways where the margin for error is slim. Collisions with highway dividers often occur due to factors like driver inattention, speeding, impaired driving, or sudden swerving to avoid obstacles. Poor weather conditions or reduced nighttime visibility can also contribute to such crashes.
