WRIGHTSTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A woman was killed Tuesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash on Route 413 just south of Worhington Mill Road in Wrightstown Township.
The crash happened just after 11 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Durham Road in front of Kirshner Landscapes & Nursery, according to the Newtown Township Police Department, which is investigating the crash.
When emergency crews arrived on scene, they found an overturned Jeep in the roadway with three occupants inside and a Honda Odyssey in a grassy area at the entrance to the landscaping store with the driver inside.
According to a preliminary investigation, the Honda was stopped in the northbound lane and was attempting to make a left turn into the landscaping business. A Jeep Cherokee traveling in the same northbound direction was unable to stop and entered the southbound lane as the Odyssey began its turn, resulting in the collision, the report found.
All four adults were transported to the hospital, where a woman who was in the Jeep was pronounced dead.
Police are continuing to investigate the accident, which closed the busy highway for more than three hours between Stoopville and Worthington Mill roads.
Assisting at the scene were members of the Lingohocken Fire Department, Newtown Fire Rescue, the Northampton Township Fire Department, Central Bucks EMS, and Newtown Ambulance Squad.
Anyone who may have witnessed the accident is asked to contact Officer Nicklaus Whitney at 215-579-1000, ext. 316.
