No serious injuries were reported in a three-vehicle crash that split a utility pole and closed a busy section of Veterans Highway (Route 413) on Saturday afternoon.
The crash happened around 12:30 p.m. when a car with a driver and two passengers slammed into the rear of two other vehicles that were headed north, bounced off the guard rail, crossed the southbound lanes, struck a utility pole, slammed a sign, and ended up coming to a rest on the front lawn of quick-service eatery Zio Gio, Bristol Township police said.
