Police identify three crash victims in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania – NBC10 Philadelphia

A grandmother and teacher at a local Catholic school was among three people killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, last week that also injured two others.

The accident occurred on Friday, August 23, at 6:35 p.m. in Hatboro.

According to police, 31-year-old Joseph Snavely of Southampton, Pennsylvania, was driving a Chevy Camaro westbound on County Line Road at a high rate of speed. As the Camaro crossed the railroad tracks between Jacksonville Road and Park Avenue, the vehicle became airborne, entered the eastbound lanes and struck a Nissan SUV driven by 69-year-old Anne Swoyer of Hatboro, police said.

According to investigators, a Hyundai driven by another 69-year-old woman was also hit in the accident.

Both Swoyer and Snavely were pronounced dead at the scene.

Two occupants of the Camaro were extricated from the vehicle and taken to Jefferson Abington Hospital. One of the occupants, 31-year-old Gabrielle Sims of Southampton, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The second occupant, 23-year-old Adriana Sabo, is in critical condition.

The Montgomery County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death for all three victims an accident. Toxicology reports are pending.

Sabo’s aunt has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her family as she continues to fight for her life.
