It happened before 5 a.m. in the Wyndmoor section of Springfield Township. Two vehicles flipped onto their passenger sides and landed on the grass by the intersection of Stenton and Evergreen avenues.

A red Hyundai Elantra landed near a tree, with its front windshield smashed. The front bumper was in the middle of the road and the back bumper was 20 feet to its left. The front of a white Infiniti SUV was also smashed, and a deployed front airbag was visible.

A tire from one of the cars flew across the street. One person was killed and at least three people were taken to the hospital. The extent of their injuries is not clear.
