CLINTONVILLE, Pa. (AP) - State police say a logging truck struck a horse-drawn Amish buggy in northwestern Pennsylvania over the weekend, killing two people and sending three others to hospitals.
Police in Venango County who were called to the scene just after 3 p.m. Sunday said the eastbound truck struck the buggy from behind in Irwin Township. A family of five was riding in the buggy, and a woman and a juvenile male were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
A man was flown to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio and a juvenile female was flown to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, police said. There was no immediate word on their conditions. Another juvenile male was treated at Grove Medical Center and released, police said.
The truck driver is cooperating with investigators, police said. The Venango County district attorney and coroner were also called to the scene.
