PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (AP) - Police say speed is believed to have been a factor in a two-vehicle crash at a busy intersection near Philadelphia that killed three men and critically injured a fourth.
Plymouth Township police say a sport utility vehicle was traveling at high speed on a rainy night when the driver failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the median and smashed into a minivan shortly before midnight Thursday.
Police chief John Myrsiades said the crash was “impact at full speed.” He said it doesn’t appear “that any brakes were used or anything to slow down.”
Killed were 58-year-old Alexander Montanez of Philadelphia and two Vineland, New Jersey residents, 38-year-old Wilfredo Martinez and 30-year-old Justin Ruberti. A 37-year-old Vineland man was taken to a hospital and listed in critical condition.
