BUTLER TWP — A 22-year-old pregnant woman was flown by medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital with injuries not believed to be serious following a two-vehicle crash late Wednesday morning at a traffic way at the Butler Crossing shopping plaza, authorities said.

An accident report was not immediately available, and Butler Township police did not release the name of the woman, who they said suffered “seat-belt related injuries.”

Police said the woman — from Butler Township — was driving a Mercury Sable around 11:25 a.m. in the plaza off New Castle Road when a 63-year-old Butler woman pulled from a stop sign in a Ford Escape.

The sport utility vehicle T-boned the driver's side of the car, police said. All three occupants reportedly were able to get out of their vehicles. The couple in the SUV was wearing their seat belts.

A Butler Ambulance Service crew tended to the younger woman, who is five-and-half-months pregnant. She was taken by ambulance to the nearby VA Butler Healthcare Medical Center where a helicopter landed and took her to an unspecified hospital.

The other driver and her husband, who was riding in the SUV, police said, later went by private vehicle to Butler Memorial Hospital to be checked out.

Both vehicles in the crash had to be towed. The Butler Township Volunteer Fire District and the Butler VA Fire Department assisted at the scene.
