| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A moist south to southeast flow from Delaware Bay passing over road surfaces that were very cold from the recent deep freeze helped black ice to form on roadways, bridges and overpasses the morning of the 22nd. This thin layer of ice that is virtually impossible to detect helped contribute to three traffic fatalities and over 100 injuries in the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. In Southeast Pennsylvania, a 26-year-old woman was killed in West Pikeland Township (Chester County) when her vehicle hit a patch of ice on Pennsylvania State Route 113, spun out of control and flipped over. Within Philadelphia a 39-year-old male passenger (the driver was critically injured) was killed as the car he was riding in spun out of control and crashed into another car and school bus. In Wrightstown (Bucks County), a 36-year-old female was critically injured after her 4-wheel-drive vehicle skidded on a patch of ice. |
