A Honda Accord was traveling southbound on Allentown Road in the area of Delp Road when it stopped to turn into a driveway. That's when a Honda Pilot traveling behind the Accord rear-ended the car.

The Accord then hit a vehicle traveling north on Allentown Road. That vehicle went off the roadway, onto someone's front lawn, and almost into a home.
