New Castle, PA (December 8, 2022) – On the afternoon of Wednesday, December 7, one person was killed in a fatal car accident in New Castle.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the accident happened on River Road. Police confirmed that two vehicles were traveling in the area when they collided with one another due to reasons that are not entirely known. This caused the vehicles to sustain severe damages, which had to be towed from the scene.
Several New Castle responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. One person, who has not yet been formally identified, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to traumatic injuries. Three people were trapped inside their vehicles and had to be extricated. The three victims were rushed to local hospitals for treatment, though their conditions are not entirely known.
Due to the severity of the accident, a large portion of the roadway was blocked for some time. This led to delays until police were able to clear the scene.
The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues.
We offer our warmest condolences to the family and friends of the victim whose life was lost in this accident. We also hope that the injured parties receive a full recovery.
