2 people killed, 2 others injured in major crash in Indiana County

WEST WHEATFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Two people are dead, and two others are injured after a multi-vehicle crash in Indiana County on Thursday.

Pennsylvania State Police say the crash happened around 8:30 a.m. in West Wheatfield Township.

A Ford Ranger was traveling on Bowser Road when police believe it failed to stop at a stop sign before entering State Route 22.

The Ranger was then hit by a garbage truck that was traveling eastbound on Route 22, and then hit by a tractor-trailer.

The two people inside the Ranger were killed, police say. They have not been identified.

The Indiana County Coroner’s Office says the Ranger’s occupants died on impact, and it could take “days to weeks” to positively identify them.

The drivers of the garbage truck and tractor-trailer were taken to area hospitals, police say. Their conditions were not immediately available.

Route 22 was shut down in the area for hours after the crash.
