Moments before the wreck about 2:50 p.m., other motorists had reported that Seitz’s white Toyota Corolla was driving erratically, according to investigators.

The tri-axle truck, owned by Mark Ann Industries, Inc. of Worthington, continued into the median, hitting the car’s front driver’s side and rolling onto it. The Toyota was crushed by the impact, police said.

Armstrong County Coroner Brian Myers pronounced Seitz dead at the scene. Myers said an autopsy was planned today.

Police said the other drivers were not injured. Carolyn J. Kennedy, 77, of Kittanning was riding in the GMC and suffered apparent minor injuries,

The crash closed Route 422 for several hours. All three vehicles had to be towed.
