A longtime realtor died in a crash yesterday afternoon in Penn Township.
The Butler County Coroner confirmed to our newsroom that 86-year-old Ed Shields died in a two vehicle accident on Route 8 South.
The call came into the Butler County 911 Center shortly after 4 p.m. for the accident on Route 8 South at the intersection with Airport Road.
Crews responded to find two vehicles with front end damage, but the details of the crash are not known at this point.
Shields was still very active in his realty business, and was a longtime supporter and guest on WBUT.
Traffic needed to be delayed and diverted in order to allow emergency responders to access the scene.
