Police Seek Witnesses In Crash That Hospitalized Teens

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Police are looking to talk to witnesses of the crash on Bridgetown Pike on Saturday that sent four Neshaminy High School students and one other person to the hospital.

On Thursday, Northampton Township Police posted a call on social media about the crash, which happened at 10:12 p.m. Saturday in the 300 block of Bridgetown Pike.

"Although an arrest was made soon after the crash, we are asking for witnesses to the crash and anyone who stopped at the crash scene or rendered aid at the scene to contact police," the statement said.

They are asking them to contact officers at crimetips@nhtwp.org.

Shane Brolly, 23, of Philadelphia, faces felony assault charges in the crash. Prosecutors say Brolly was driving his pickup truck in a no-passing zone when he tried to pass a Nissan Murano and struck the Mazda CX5 in which the four girls who attend Neshaminy were riding.

The crash knocked the Mazda back 50 feet and police said they found both open and unopened alcohol containers in Brolly's truck. The Nissan also would hit Brolly's truck, police said, but its occupants were treated and released at the scene.

On Wednesday, all four girls remained in the hospital and two of them, along with a man who was riding with Brolly, were in critical condition.

An online fundraiser to help with the girls' medical bills had raised more than $114,000 as of Thursday.
