Vehicle Said to Have Hit Parked Car and Flipped, Say Police

An SUV driving on East Airy Street in Norristown Wednesday afternoon is thought to have struck a parked car in front of the Municipal Hall and flipped over, say police.

The incident apparently happened sometime before 4:40 p.m., at which time the black SUV lay flipped in its hood next to a parked silver Volvo that was damaged around the rear of the driver’s side. Two men were said to have been in the SUV.

Norristown Municipal Administrator Crandall Jones said that he was in his office when he heard a loud noise; he came outside in time to see two men crawl out of the overturned vehicle.

“I was sitting there working at the desk and we just heard a ‘boom’ and looked out the window and there it was,” he said, standing outside and looking at the accident.

According to a representative from Plymouth Ambulance, the two men riding in the SUV planned to take themselves to the hospital. The SUV was towed from the scene.

The incident is under investigation, say police.
