Two Die in Minersville Highway Crash

Two people died after a head-on crash on State Route 130 (Minersville Highway), Tuesday.  Just before 10pm, a White Ford Econoline van was traveling northbound on SR-130 near mile post 13.

The van drifted into the oncoming southbound lane and sideswiped a farm implement, which was being towed by a tractor. The van continued into the southbound lane and impacted a pickup truck that was behind the tractor.

The van then overturned and came to rest on the shoulder of the road. Two occupants in the van suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash.

The road was closed for several hours, and traffic was rerouted to secondary roadways during the crash investigation.
