A significant police and rescue response occurred at the 100 block of Hancock Road in Upper Gwynedd Township at about 3:45 one afternoon. A one-car crash was reported on the roadway near the Gwyn-Nor Elementary School and Pennbrook Middle School.
Very limited information was provided about the cause of the accident. However, the accident closed the roadway from Marlyns Lane to Sanctuary Court. Images of the aftermath show the police handcuffing the driver of the vehicle at the scene of the accident. The driver was then taken by EMS to the hospital.
No information was provided on the cause of the crash that involved a red Dodge Journey. The vehicle suffered severe front-end damage, and rescuers had to remove the passenger door to reach the driver. There were skid marks on the sidewalk, and grassy areas were turfed. Additionally, at least two street signs were damaged, and a utility pole sustained damage as well.
Causes of One-Car Accidents
Many factors contribute to the potential cause of a one-car accident. The driver may have lost control if they were swerving to avoid someone or something in the road. The driver may have been speeding and lost control. In other situations, these accidents happen when the driver is fatigued or intoxicated.
