PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – A 65-year-old man was killed and four others were injured Thursday night in a three-vehicle crash that closed a section of Lincoln Drive for several hours. Police said the crash occurred when a vehicle traveling northbound crossed into the southbound lane and struck another vehicle head-on before colliding with a third.
Investigators said the first vehicle, a white 1997 Toyota 4Runner driven by Eric Sullivan of the 400 block of East Rittenhouse Street, overturned multiple times after impact, ejecting Sullivan onto the roadway. Medics pronounced him dead at 9:25 p.m.
The second vehicle, a black 2026 Mercedes-Benz C-300, was operated by a 45-year-old man with a 36-year-old woman and an 8-year-old girl as passengers. All three were transported to Albert Einstein Medical Center in stable condition.
The driver of the third vehicle, a black 2025 Nissan Rogue, was taken to Lankenau Hospital, though the extent of that individual’s injuries was not immediately known.
Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash and whether any contributing factors, such as speed or impairment, played a role.
