A 44-year-old Perkasie man was driving a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado northbound when he had trouble negotiating a curve on River Road.. The Silverado first struck a southbound 2018 Ford F-250, forcing it off the road and into a tree, state police said.

The Silverado then collided head-on with a 2026 Ford F-350, which was also traveling southbound, state police said.

The driver of the Silverado sustained a minor injury in the wreck but refused medical treatment or transportation from an ambulance crew, state police said.
