WILMINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA – One driver was killed and another injured when their vehicles collided in Wilmington Township on Tuesday morning, New Castle News reports.
According to the Lawrence County Coroner, a Pennsylvania State Police vehicle had stopped on eastbound Interstate 376 to assist with a disabled vehicle shortly before 8:30 a.m. The driver of an eastbound pickup truck just missed hitting the police car in the right lane, and then crossed through the grass median on the interstate. The pickup went airborne, flew over the guardrail, and landed on top of a westbound Cintas van.
The driver of the van, a 40-year-old man from Greenville, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene. The pickup truck driver, a 26-year-old woman from Clark, was injured and taken to St. Elizabeth’s Youngstown Hospital.
I-376 was shut down for over five hours between Mitchell Road in Neshannock and the Route 208 exit in Pulaski Township for the accident response and investigation.
