Delaware Co, PA (May 1, 2024) – An injury four-vehicle crash occurred Thursday morning on I-95 northbound in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, sending two pregnant women to the hospital, according to state police.
The incident happened at approximately 6:25 a.m. near mile marker 4.3 in Chester. Authorities reported that a vehicle hauler transporting three passenger vehicles was traveling too fast for traffic conditions. As it approached a traffic backup, the hauler was unable to stop in time and crashed into several cars, causing a chain-reaction collision.
Emergency crews, including firefighters and EMTs, responded quickly to the scene. Firefighters assisted with vehicle extrication efforts, while paramedics provided on-site medical evaluations before transporting the two injured pregnant women to a nearby hospital for treatment. Their current conditions remain undisclosed.
The crash significantly disrupted northbound traffic on I-95, reducing it to one lane for several hours as cleanup crews cleared debris and investigators documented the scene. Pennsylvania State Police managed traffic flow and began a thorough investigation into the incident.
No fatalities were reported, and it is still unclear whether any citations or charges will result from the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the injured women and their families during this time. We wish them both a smooth and full recovery.
