Driver Flown To Penn After 3-Car Accident

Rescue personnel were on the scene of a three-vehicle accident that left one person in critical condition and needed to be flown to the University of Pennsylvania.

The Haverford Township police said that information is limited as the investigation is ongoing for the accident that happened right next to Glendale Field on Burmont Road around 3 p.m. on Monday. Officials closed Burmont Road during the rescue.

But a female driver of a black pickup truck was going northbound on Burmont Road when she somehow lost control of her vehicle and hit a green Chrysler minivan and then she hit a red van head on, which was traveling on the southbound lane, police and fire officials said.

It could not be determined which direction the minivan was going, but it was parked on the southbound side of Burmont Road.

and rescue trucks from Manoa Fire, Llanerch Fire Co. and companies were on the scene. It was earlier reported that Brookline Fire Co. was on the scene, but that was not the case. Only the company's chief, Chris Viola, was on the scene.

A PennSTAR helicopter was called in to fly the woman in the pickup truck to the University of Pennsylvania, where officials said she was in critical condition as she was being loaded into the helicopter that landed on Glendale Field.

The other two drivers were taken to local hospitals, officials stated, adding that there were no passengers in any of the three vehicles.
