A man was airlifted on Saturday afternoon to a medical facility following a crash on Route 36 in Oliver Township, Jefferson County.
Pennsylvania State Police from the Punxsutawney barracks report the driver, 24 year old Ashton Sullinger of Knox, failed to negotiate a left-hand curve causing the vehicle swerve and go off the right-hand side of the road, landing in a ditch. Due to the depth, the driver had to be mechanically extracted and was transported to a waiting LifeFlight unit. He was then flown to Allegheny General Hospital for evaluation of leg and ankle injuries.
The driver was wearing a seat belt. Emergency services and towing assistance were provided at the scene.
