Driver Rescued in Two-Vehicle Accident
Intersection littered with debris after collision at Stump and Horsham roads in Montgomery Township
A two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Stump and Horsham roads in Montgomery Township had traffic slowed to a crawl, as Unit 18 Rescue from the Fire Department of Montgomery Township worked to free one of the drivers.
At about 12:30 p.m., police and fire units were dispatched to the scene where a blue Jeep Grand Cherokee T-boned a Buick Enclave, directly in front of the township building.
The driver of the Buick was stuck inside the vehicle. Members of Fire Department of Montgomery Township extricated the driver through the driver's side door.
