Woman who died in crash is identified

Nicole Boyle

CENTER TWP — State police have identified the victim of a fatal crash this morning as 27-year-old Nicole Boyle of Lyndora.

Police believe the crash may have happened on Sunset Drive between 2 and 2:30 a.m., when several homeowners reported hearing a loud noise. However, Boyle's four-door Suzuki Forenza was not discovered until possibly hours later.

It appeared the car was southbound when it went off the west side of the road near Shanahan Road and struck a “For Sale” sign in Babette Stewart's front yard before hitting and shearing off a utility pole. The car ended up in bushes in the yard of a neighboring home.

Officials said there was no sign that alcohol or drugs were involved.

The deadly wreck prompted several neighbors to recall another fatality that happened nearly 10 years ago not far from the same crash site.

That is when a Center Township woman was killed in the one-car wreck Sept. 7, 2006. She was a passenger in the car.
