Accident at Iron Bridge and Route 29 Leaves Traffic Snarled

A late afternoon accident at the intersection of Route 29 and Iron Bridge Drive in Perkiomen Township has traffic slowed to a near-halt in both directions, as crews work to free two vehicles from a wooded area.

Though it is unclear what caused the accident at this time, Perkiomen Valley Patch reader Robin Pasquarello, who is at the scene, stated that both vehicles had gone well off the road.

"Both cars were deep into the woods to the point you could only see fire crews trying to pull the drivers out," said Paquarello. "There was at least three firetrucks and one ambulance."

Pasquarello also that traffic moving towards 113 is not getting by at all, and traffic coming from 113 is being re-routed through Iron Bridge Drive. She added that Iron Bridge Drive is now backed up from the intersection with 113 all the way through Route 29 in Rahns.
