MONTGOMERY TWP — Area first responders have been at the scene of a fatal crash on the 202 Parkway in Montgomery Township.
Crews were dispatched to the intersection with Horsham Road just before 11:30 a.m. for a report of a vehicle crash with injuries and rescue. According to North Penn Now photographer James Short, the crash involves two passenger vehicles and a semi-truck carrying multiple vehicles on its flatbed.
A third vehicle that was observed overturned on the roadway is believed to have come from the semi-truck, as the fastening straps on the roof of the truck were visibly frayed and torn.
At least one person was ejected, and another person was reported trapped in the wreckage. Multiple corroborating sources said both people were pronounced dead at the scene.
The 202 Parkway was shut down in both directions between Horsham Road and County Line Road.
Montgomery Township Police were assisted at the scene by units from VMSC Emergency Medical Services, Fire Department of Montgomery Township, North Penn Fire Company, and other area agencies.
