Amazon Packages Spill Along Plymouth Township Road

Hundreds of Amazon packages were scattered along West Germantown Pike in Montgomery County late on November 11, after delivery cases ended up beside the busy road near Plymouth Meeting Mall. The spill occurred shortly before midnight, about half a mile from the mall.

A witness said a tractor-trailer appeared to have sent over twelve wheeled bins carrying parcels onto the road. At the scene, six or seven sizable cases resembling parcel lockers were seen tipped over, with packages visible inside them and scattered nearby.

The debris blocked traffic for a time before it was moved to the roadside. No Amazon trucks or company representatives were seen at the location while the cases remained there.

The cause of the spill has not been established, and it is unclear whether the cases had tumbled off a delivery truck in motion. Their time beside the road is also unknown, as is whether deliveries would be affected. An Amazon facility is about two miles from the location.
