A car accident occurred last night in Philadelphia when a SEPTA bus and DRPA vehicle collided and continued into a popular restaurant.

Philadelphia city officials reported that the accident occurred when the SEPTA bus traveling northbound on 16th Street was struck by a Delaware River Port Authority vehicle traveling westbound on Spruce.  The two vehicles crashed into Monk’s Cafe owned by Tom Peters after colliding.  Peters, who lives in one of the apartments above the restaurant, said he was awoken by the accident to see a cloud of smoke and the bus partially inside his restaurant.

Two Bucks County residents were killed Friday morning in a tragic three-vehicle car accident in Coolbaugh Township, Pennsylvania.

58-year olds John and Christine Inscho were traveling northbound on Interstate 380 around 4:30 AM on Friday.  The couple slowed and stopped due to traffic from an unrelated accident in the southbound lanes of 380.  Unfortunately, the tractor-trailer behind them, driven by 48-year old Victor Sanchez-Hernandez, was unable to stop in time, and rear-ended the Inscho’s SUV.  The SUV then ran into a Chevrolet Traverse stopped in front of it.

Sanchez-Hernandez suffered minor injuries from the accident, and none of the passengers in the Chevrolet Traverse were injured.  It was not reported whether or not the Inschos died at the scene of the accident or were transported to a hospital.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Inscho’s family and friends during this difficult time.
