On 11/2/23, Hampton Township Police were dispatched to the area of William Flinn Highway and Old Route 8 for a report of a three vehicle accident. There were no injuries, and two tows were needed.
Unit 1 stated they were traveling southbound on William Flinn Highway in the right hand lane when the vehicle directly in front began to execute a right hand turn onto Old Route 8. Unit 1 saw the turn signal of the vehicle and continued slowing down. Unit 1 believed the vehicle completed the execution of the turn but did not fully turn into the intersection. Unit 1 then collided with Unit 2. Unit 1 sustained disabling damage to the 11 o'clock position and was towed from the scene by Leo's. Both the driver and passenger were wearing their seatbelts. No air bags were deployed. Both parties denied any injuries. Unit 1 estimated their speed to be approximately 30 MPH.
Unit 2 stated they were traveling southbound on William Flinn Highway in the right hand lane. Unit 2 was attempting to make a right hand turn onto Old Route 8 when they slowed down because they were unsure if they would be able to execute the turn due to a vehicle in the intersection. As Unit 2 was executing the turn, Unit 1 struck Unit 2 in the 5 o'clock position. Unit 2 received moderate damage and was towed from the scene by Leo's. Unit 2 was wearing their seatbelt, and no air bags were deployed. Unit 2 denied any injuries.
Unit 3 stated they were stopped on Old Route 8 waiting to turn onto William Flinn Highway. Unit 3 observed Unit 2 attempting to make a right hand turn onto Old Route 8. Unit 3 witnessed Unit 1 come out of nowhere, struck the right hand curb as they were attempting to stop, then struck Unit 2, which sent Unit 2 into Unit 3. Due to the impact of Unit 2 into Unit 3, Unit 2 spun almost 360 degrees and came to final rest facing northbound. Unit 3 sustained minor damage to the 11 o'clock position. No air bags were deployed, no injuries were sustained, and Unit 3 was able to be driven from the scene.
There was roadway evidence that coincides with the statement of Unit 3, I observed scars and marks on the curb and damage to the entire passenger side of Unit 1. Due to the collision, there were fluids on the roadway. HFD arrived and cleaned the fluid and debris. The MS-4 was then transported to the station by HFD and logged. All parties had information exchanged at the scene.
