  • Multiple Injured in Fiery New Jersey Turnpike Crash

    Multiple Injured in Fiery New Jersey Turnpike Crash

    On Tuesday morning, a fiery crash on the New Jersey Turnpike left several people injured and blocked lanes for hours in Barrington. The New Jersey State Police said the three-vehicle wreck occurred on the northbound lanes near Interchange 3 around 2 a.m. 

    The crash ignited a fire, closing all northbound lanes. Troopers could later be seen combing the woods near the scene of two burned-out vehicles. Eight people suffered injuries, one critically, and at least six have been hospitalized.

    Before the scene was cleared, another crash occurred further north in the eastbound lanes of the turnpike in Burlington County around 6:15 a.m. Police have not reported on what might have caused either crash, which remain under investigation.

  • Police Search for Driver After Deadly Hit-and-Run at Cottman and Brous in Philadelphia

    Police Search for Driver After Deadly Hit-and-Run at Cottman and Brous in Philadelphia

    Late Thursday night, a woman was tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash in Northeast Philadelphia, and authorities are still searching for the driver responsible. The incident occurred just before midnight at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Brous Avenue. 

    According to police, the victim was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound on Cottman, and the force of the collision was so great that one of her sneakers was found nearly 200 feet away from where her body was discovered. The Chief Inspector noted the distance as a possible indicator that speed may have played a role. The woman, who has not yet been identified, suffered severe injuries to her head and torso and died shortly after being transported to the hospital.

    Despite increased public awareness campaigns and Vision Zero initiatives, Philadelphia continues to see a troubling number of pedestrian fatalities. Poor lighting, distracted driving, and excessive speed all contribute to the danger.

  • Two Killed After Vehicle Falls Off I-95 in Port Richmond

    Two Killed After Vehicle Falls Off I-95 in Port Richmond

    Four New Jersey men in a Mazda fell over the edge of northbound Interstate 95 in Port Richmond on Friday. According to witnesses, the driver was racing a Dodge Challenger before losing control, striking a barrier, and crashing over the edge of the road.

    Two unrestrained backseat passengers and a puppy were ejected from the vehicle and killed. The driver and front passenger were transported to nearby hospitals in critical condition.

    The crash remains under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police.

    In densely populated urban areas like Philadelphia, the consequences of reckless driving behaviors, such as speeding and racing, are severe. Philadelphia has the highest number of traffic-related deaths in the state, an alarmingly high per-capita rate more than twice that of New York City.

    Speeding is a leading factor in fatal crashes. At higher speeds, the force of a collision increases exponentially and significantly increases the risk of severe injuries and fatalities. In Pennsylvania, nearly one-third of all fatal crashes involve speeding, and the risk is even greater when combined with aggressive driving or street racing.
