The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office has released the names of the victims who died in a horrific three-car accident on County Line Road near Park Avenue in Hatboro Borough Friday night.

The deceased are identified as Gabrielle Sims, 31, of Southampton; her boyfriend, Joseph Snavely, 31, of Southampton; and Anne Swoyer, 69, of Hatboro, according to Coroner Dr. Janine Darby.

Darby said the cause of death for all three was multiple injuries and the manner of death is accidental.

The coroner’s office was dispatched to the crash scene at 10:30 p.m. Friday, per the report. It was involved in a multi-agency investigation, including Hatboro Police, and multiple law enforcement, fire and EMS agencies, Darby said.

Snavely and Swoyer were pronounced dead at the scene, and Sims was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Snavely was driving a Camaro, with Sims and another individual who remains in critical condition as passengers. Both passengers were extricated from the car.

Swoyer was an honors math teacher at Presentation BVM in Cheltenham, per her obituary.

A GoFundMe launched for Sims, a nurse who left behind a four-year-old daughter, on Saturday has raised $15,490 of its $75,000 goal. Donate to the GoFundMe here.

Snavely’s mother, Monica Snavely, of Tulsa, OK, started a GoFundMe for her son on Saturday to support her travels from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania to retrieve her son’s remains, have him cremated, and return him back home, per the fundraiser description. No money has yet been raised toward the $4,000 goal.
