Lansdale Man One of Five Injured in Three-Car Accident

A Lansdale man was one of five people injured in a three-car crash in Worcester Township June 4 at 9:23 a.m. on Township Line Road, police said.

Peter Villari, 60, of Lansdale, was stopped at a traffic light in his 2013 Ford Taurus on Whitehall Road, headed south, police said.

A 2008 Toyota Camry, driven by S. Shivalingaiah, 41, of Blue Bell, Whitpain Township, was west on Township Line Road approaching Whitehall Road, police said, and allegedly failed to stop at a red light.

Shivalingaiah’s Camry struck Villari’s Taurus on the driver’s side front fender with its passenger’s side bumper, as Villari proceeded into the intersection on a green light, police said.

Villari’s car rotated and continued west, police said. Shivalingaiah’s car veered southwest and hit a 2013 Toyota Sienna on its driver’s side, driven by Colleen Grove, 47, of Norristown, police said.

Two juvenile passengers riding in safety seats in Grove’s car were also injured, police said.

Shivalingaiah, Villari and Grove and her two passengers all complained of pain, police said.

The Camry and Taurus sustained severe damage and were towed from the scene, police said. The Sienna sustained moderate damage and was not towed, police said.
