A 2000 Acura Integra was traveling east on Rte. 617 when it failed to safely maneuver a curve, crossed the centerline, and collided head-on with a westbound 2020 Jeep Renegade. The Acura came to rest in the eastbound travel lane.
A 2012 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling east on Rte. 617 when it came through the same curve and came upon the crash scene. The Chevrolet was able to avoid the initial two-vehicle crash by running off the right side of the roadway.
A 2003 Ford F-150 also traveling east then came through the same curve, but was unable to avoid striking the Acura. The impact of that crash caused the Ford to then collide with the Chevrolet.
