Mountville, PA (January 6, 2026) – A two-vehicle accident involving an overturned car caused significant traffic delays on Route 30 on Tuesday morning, January 6, 2026. The crash occurred at approximately 7:04 a.m. in the westbound lanes near the Prospect Road exit in Mountville Borough.
According to emergency responders and West Hempfield Township Police, a white passenger vehicle was found flipped onto its roof on the side of the highway following a collision with a second vehicle. Fire police from Mountville and West Hempfield Fire/Rescue arrived to find the driver of the overturned vehicle had managed to exit the wreckage. While that individual reportedly sustained minor injuries, they refused medical treatment at the scene.
The accident forced the closure of all westbound lanes at the Mountville exit (Stony Battery Road) for over an hour. Traffic was diverted onto local roads, leading to several miles of backups. Additionally, eastbound traffic was delayed due to “rubbernecking” near the crash site. PennDOT crews worked to clear the overturned vehicle and debris, and all lanes were reopened by mid-morning.
Liability and Insurance Recovery in Multi-Vehicle Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents on high-speed highways like Route 30 often stem from “tripping” mechanisms, high-speed swerving, or side-impact collisions that destabilize a vehicle’s center of gravity. Under Pennsylvania law, determining liability requires a thorough review of each driver’s actions leading up to the impact. If the investigation reveals that the second vehicle’s driver was speeding, distracted, or made an unsafe lane change that forced the white vehicle to lose control, that driver may be held responsible for the resulting damages.
