Venango County, PA (June 19, 2025) – Two Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) workers were killed in Venango County on Wednesday afternoon.

According to the Venango County Coroner’s Office, it happened on Route 965 (Jackson Center Polk Road) in Mineral Township just east of Sandy Lake around 2:45 p.m. A report released by Pennsylvania State Police said a PennDOT vehicle was traveling east when the front passenger side tire encountered a malfunction for “unknown reasons.”

The vehicle then went off the south side of the roadway into a ditch and struck a tree, reports said. The driver and passenger both sustained fatal injuries. PSP said additional information will be released at a later time. In the meantime, troopers with the Pennsylvania State Police are investigating, but have asked any witnesses to come forward as soon as possible.

We extend our deepest condolences to the deceased victims' loved ones.

Deadly Vehicle Collisions in Pennsylvania

In one recent year, Pennsylvania recorded nearly 1,130 fatalities from auto accidents, the second-lowest number of traffic fatalities since PennDOT began keeping track of such data. Nevertheless, these deadly accidents still occur all too frequently, and justice remains owed to the families of these victims.

To be awarded compensation in a wrongful death case arising from a fatal auto accident, the plaintiff must establish that the negligent party was responsible.

Sustaining major injuries or enduring the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences that a person can experience, particularly if it could have all been avoided and was the result of another person's negligence. Although no monetary amount can restore the memory of a departed loved one, our attorneys will help you and your family fight for justice and obtain the necessary compensation to proceed with your life. We can assist you in pursuing compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of companionship, lost income, and much more in the event of an unlawful death lawsuit.

Regrettably, a large number of insurance companies are simply concerned with minimizing their financial liability and increasing their profits to benefit their bottom line. For these reasons and more, following a vehicle accident caused by another party's negligence, bereaved families can and should take legal action with the help of a skilled attorney. Grieving family members shouldn't hesitate to resort to a qualified wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible.
