NEW SEWICKLEY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A woman is dead after a head-on crash in Beaver County on Friday evening.
Beaver County dispatchers said crews were called to the 1200 block of Freedom Crider Road in New Sewickley Township around 6:15 p.m. on Friday.
New Sewickley Police Department Chief Gregory Carney says Denise Babyak, 68, died on scene.
The other driver was not hurt.
Carney says the preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle Babyak was driving crossed the center lane, hitting another vehicle head-on.
Weather and road conditions aren’t believed to be a factor in the crash, Carney says, because the roadway was wet but there was no snow or ice accumulation.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
Freedom Crider was closed between Lovi Road and the Route 989 roundabout for around three hours on Friday night.
