The two-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of Lincoln Highway and Bristol-Oxford Valley Road on Friday around 10:45 a.m. in Falls Township near the Middletown Township border.
A 27-year-old Warminster Township woman, who was driving a passenger sedan northbound on Lincoln Highway, said her older car’s brakes might have failed, causing her to not be able to stop at the red light and collide with a white SUV, Falls Township police said.
The SUV was being driven by a 33-year-old woman from Levittown, who was crossing over Lincoln Highway on North Oxford Valley Road with a green light. The impact of the collision caused the SUV to flip and land on its driver side, police said.
