A one-vehicle accident happened on the Route 611 Bypass southbound near Route 202 in Doylestown, PA. It is unclear whether anyone was hurt in the accident, but images showed the vehicle on a very snow-covered roadway. This accident took place around 5:30 p.m. on Monday.
It is not clear what caused this accident, but officials were urging other drivers to slow down as road conditions continued to deteriorate due to the winter storm. Emergency workers further slowed traffic in the area as they worked to clear the scene.

Fault in Winter Storms
Road conditions play a significant role in accident cause. Even a very safe driver may sustain serious injuries if they lose control on the roadway due to a patch of ice or a snow buildup.
When considering fault in a car accident, the general rule is that drivers are responsible for their actions. Driving in bad conditions is a decision every driver has to make. If the conditions are too bad, staying home is advised. That’s not always logical, especially for those who are critical of their work.
Nevertheless, if you cause an accident by losing control of the vehicle, you could be held accountable.
