Two local residents were killed in a multi-vehicle crash that occurred late last week in nearby Lawrence County.
According to State Police, 38-year-old Jessica Allen from Mercer was traveling on Harlansburg Road in Scott Township around 6am on Friday when her vehicle crossed into the opposite lane.
Authorities say that the woman’s vehicle then struck a Jeep Cherokee driven by 45-year-old Tim Croup of New Castle. Both vehicles then traveled off the roadway before coming to a final rest.
State Police say that both motorists, who were not wearing seatbelts, were pronounced dead at the scene.
