In the middle of a Monday afternoon, a trailer hauling a backhoe lost control over the vehicle while making a turn, causing the vehicle to land on its side. The incident occurred on the on-ramp to Skippack Pike/Route 73 at the Bridge Road and 113 intersection. Traffic was blocked for some time as a result of the incident.
Vehicles moving heavy machinery like this must follow specific procedures and methods to minimize the risk of such accidents.

It Was Challenging to Remove the Vehicles
To clear the intersection, police and crews had to call large hauler trucks to upright the trailer. The Harleysville Fire Co. kept traffic in this area off the roadway as crews attempted to clear the area. No information was provided about any injuries or the cause of the accident.
