Krispen J. Kriner

A funeral will be held Friday for a 36-year-old Butler County man who was killed last week in a two-vehicle crash in Luzerne County.

Krispen J. Kriner, 36, of Butler died April 26 when the sport utility vehicle he was driving collided head-on with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 80 in Sugarloaf Township near Hazelton, state police said.

Kriner was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck. A woman who was riding with him was seriously injured.

Police said Kriner was traveling west on I-80 just before 7 p.m. when he lost control of his 2000 Subaru Outback, which went off the highway and hit a guardrail.
