According to Indiana County officials, the accident happened around 12:58 a.m. at the intersection of US-422 and Red Mill Road. Police confirmed that a man was driving west in his Subaru WRX and making a left turn at the intersection. While doing so, he was struck in the rear by a pickup truck due to reasons that are not entirely known. His Subaru struck a row of rocks and then slammed into a utility pole.

Paramedics and several other local responders were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. The driver of the Subaru, who was identified as 25-year-old Hunter McCloskey, was ejected from his vehicle. He was severely injured and was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. It is not known if anyone else was hurt in the accident.
