Woman extracted from vehicle after crash
PENN TWP — Firefighters had to extract a woman from her vehicle after it crashed into another vehicle Friday afternoon, June 7, at the intersection of Dinnerbell and Rockdale roads.
Jeremy Walters, a patrol officer with Penn Township Police, said at the scene that the Butler woman was transported to Butler Memorial Hospital for a minor head injury after the crash, which was reported around 2:30 p.m. Friday. The driver of the other vehicle, a man also from the Butler area, was not injured, Walters said. The two vehicles only had one occupant each.
At the scene of the crash Friday Walters said the cars crashed when one pulled from Rockdale Road onto Dinnerbell Road in front of the other.
“One was traveling Rockdale onto Dinnerbell, other one west on Dinnerbell, (and) didn’t have time to stop,” Walters said.
The crash left both vehicles on the side of the road, one teetering on the edge of an embankment, firefighters said. Firefighters directed traffic at the intersection while crews cleaned up the wreckage.
Walters said both vehicles were likely totaled.
In addition to Penn Township Police, the Penn Township Volunteer Fire Department, Middlesex Volunteer Fire Company and the Saxonburg VFC ambulance also responded to the crash. Crews began clearing the scene at around 3 p.m.
