Greenwich Township’s section of I-78, with its mix of commuter and long-distance traffic, is a prime location for collisions, especially in poor weather conditions or during congestion.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reports that distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield are common causes of accidents on highways.
