Accident involves 2 vehicles

A traffic accident took place along North Duffy Road in Butler Township Wednesday.

BUTLER TWP — A two-vehicle crash Wednesday morning sent at least one person and possibly another to the hospital.

The crash occurred around 9:10 a.m. on North Duffy Road. A Chevrolet sedan was left disabled at the intersection with Seneca Drive, one of the entrances to Butler Commons.

The car had heavy front-end damage, and the car's air bags had deployed.

A man who had keys on a lanyard around his neck was seen entering and exiting the car while talking to police before entering an ambulance that left the scene shortly afterward.

A second ambulance was seen about 50 yards north of the intersection, where a second vehicle, a Ford Explorer, also was disabled.

The Explorer had front- and side air-bag deployment, heavy-front end damage and a large dent in the paneling above the rear driver's-side wheel.

The ambulance near the Explorer pulled into a nearby driveway and later left the scene. It was unknown if it was transporting a patient.

Butler Township Police at the scene could not comment on the accident.

Traffic around the accident was redirected while police investigated. A tow company removed the two vehicles.

State police, the Butler VA Volunteer Fire Department and Butler Ambulance Service all assisted at the scene.
