A three-vehicle crash in Mercer County resulted in the death of one person on Monday afternoon.
The crash occurred along Interstate 80 East in Pine Township. State Police say a pickup truck, driven by 33 year-old Shayne Stanford of Punxsutawney, rear-ended a Jeep, which collided into the back of a commercial vehicle before overturning.
The driver of the Jeep and two of the three passengers, a 16 and 11 year old, were flown to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment of injuries, while the 80 year passenger, who was entrapped and unconscious, passed away at the scene. Stanford and his passengers were not injured.
The crash investigation is ongoing.
