The Mazada is alleged to have struck the Sienna as the two vehicles were traveling in the right lane of the highway. The Sienna ended up hitting the concrete barrier and spun around, facing the wrong direction before igniting on fire, state police said.
According to troopers, the two rear seat passengers in the Sienna – a 20-year-old Philadelphia man and a 35-year-old Philadelphia woman – were killed.
The 47-year-old Philadelphia man driving the Sienna and a 22-year-old Philadelphia man who was in the front seat were taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital in Philadelphia with injuries. The driver of the Mazda – a 37-year-old man from Fairless Hills – was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital with injuries, state police said.
