One person extracted in early morning I-79 vehicle rollover

Multiple crews responded to an early morning vehicle crash on Interstate 79 near mile-marker 95 in Muddy Creek Township.

Firefighters arrived around midnight at the scene, where they found a vehicle rolled onto its roof in the grassy median.

According to a Facebook post by the Muddy Creek Township Volunteer Fire Department, one person was trapped in the vehicle.

“Upon arrival, crews used hydraulic tools to open the door and extricate the patient,” said the post.

The post said the patient was airlifted to a Pittsburgh hospital; however, the person's injuries and status were not mentioned.

Crews remained at the scene for more than two hours while state police investigated and the debris was cleared.

Other departments assisting were Harmony Fire District, and Portersville EMS.
