Fatal Crash in Adams Township Leaves One Woman Dead and Several Injured

A head-on collision on Route 219 in Adams Township, has left one woman dead.  The accident involved three vehicles and several people were injured.

Police said a pick-up truck driven by an intoxicated driver caused the crash.  Eye witnesses reported that the pick-up truck stopped on the highway, turned around and began driving in the wrong direction. The pick-up truck struck the victim and her passenger head-on.  The victim was then struck by a Freightliner truck who was not able to stop in time to avoid the accident.
