A Butler man killed in a five-vehicle crash Thursday likely died of blunt force trauma, according to the Butler County coroner.

Troy K. Andres, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Butler County Coroner William F. Young III said an autopsy was performed Friday.

Andres, whose obituary appeared in Sunday's Butler Eagle, was a married father of three.

Andres was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 66 apprenticeship program.

“Troy enjoyed working on cars and working with his hands,” his obituary stated. “Most of all, he enjoyed spending time and working on different projects with his family.”

According to a state police report, the crash was called in at 5:43 p.m. on Evans City Road about 1,250 feet north of Ash Stop Road.

The report stated Mohammed L. Rahhal, 24, of Butler, was driving east on Evans City Road in a Jaguar F-Type, when he crossed into the oncoming lane and sideswiped a GMC Acadia driven by Rochelle A. Wolfe, 54, of Butler.

According to the report, Rahhal's vehicle “had an unknown interaction” with a third vehicle, a Honda CRV driven by Emma R. O'Donnell, 18, of Cranberry Township, before hitting Andres' vehicle, a Ford Focus and a fifth vehicle, a Nissan Rogue, driven by Linda L. Corey, 62, of Butler.

After hitting those vehicles, Rahhal's vehicle left the road and crashed into the northern embankment. Rahhal was taken by ambulance to Allegheny General Hospital for treatment of injuries an unknown severity.

Wolfe, O'Donnell and Corey all refused treatment at the scene.

No charges have been filed as of Sunday night.

Police, firefighters and EMS were on the scene for more than six hours with the scene finally clearing around 11:53 p.m.

Evans City, Connoquenessig Township and Harmony fire departments assisted at the scene, which involved at least one person trapped in their vehicle and another vehicle that caught fire.

Evans City Fire Chief Matt Otto said those two situations did not involve Andres' vehicle. He said no one was inside the vehicle when it caught fire.

“Half of our crew worked on the extraction with the one vehicle, and the other half was working on extinguishing the fire,” Otto said. “(The vehicle that caught fire) was off the opposite side of the road, so there was no endangerment and no life threats for that vehicle.”

Otto said the scene took a lot of cooperation and coordination initially, and he was thankful to his team and to have the support of the other departments.

Harmony EMS also provided medical treatment and transport at the scene, and Butler County Fire Police were also called to the scene.

Otto said Evans City Road remained closed between its intersections with Ash Stop Road and Buhl Road during the state police investigation.
