Primos,PA : Davidson charged after second crash in state car on February, Wednesday 14th 2018

State Rep. Margo Davidson, D-164 of Upper Darby, was allegedly involved in a fender-bender in Radnor in January – three weeks before a crash in Concord that sent both her and another driver to the hospital.

Both times, Davidson, 55, was driving a state-owned vehicle and both times she was allegedly driving while her operating privilege was suspended or revoked, according to separate citations filed by the Pennsylvania State Police.

Davidson did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

According to paperwork dated Feb. 14 that was electronically filed in Magisterial District Judge David H. Lang’s court, Davidson is additionally being cited with driving a vehicle at safe speed, immediate notice of accident to police and duty to give information to render aid in connection with an incident on Jan. 11 on southbound Interstate 476 in Radnor. There were no injuries and damages to the civilian vehicle were minor, investigating Trooper Stephen J. Slavin Jr. said Wednesday night.


At some point after the fender-bender but as the two drivers were still amid traffic on I-476, Davidson provided the other driver some information – by allowing the other driver to take a picture of Davidson as Davidson sat in her 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee holding her driver’s license, according to Slavin.

“Providing a license is not enough,” the trooper said, noting the lack of a telephone number and insurance information. “She made somewhat of an attempt … but it wasn’t enough.”

Slavin responded to the report of a hit-and-run accident on I-476 at mile marker 10.7 in Radnor about 5:20 p.m. When Slavin arrived on the scene, a female driver was pulled over to the shoulder of the road. She provided him with the photograph she had taken of Davidson, the alleged offender.

According to information Slavin received, Davidson made no attempt to pull out of traffic after the crash. After the civilian driver took the photograph, Davidson reportedly told the civilian she had to go and drove off, the trooper said.

Using the address provided in the image of Davidson’s license, Slavin said he went to Davidson’s residence that same night in an effort to speak to her about the incident. He said no one was home and that he left a note.

“I did not receive any call,” Slavin said.
