UNITY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A man is accused of crashing through a fence at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Westmoreland County.

Information shared by Pennsylvania State Police on Monday said the incident happened at the airport on Saturday.

The man’s identity has not been released at this time.

Police estimate the crash caused $1,500 in damage to the chain-link fence.
