According to police, around 3:10 p.m. on February 11, a two-vehicle crash occurred on State Route 28 at its intersection with Service Center Road in Pine Creek Township.

Police say 53-year-old Amy A.

Elkin’s vehicle struck Jordan’s vehicle and pushed it into the grass approximately 30 feet west of the roadway, where both vehicles came to a final rest.

Jordan suffered suspected serious injuries and was transported by Jefferson County EMS to a landing zone, then flown by STAT MedEvac to UPMC Altoona.

She was using a seat belt

Elkin and his passenger, identified as 22-year-old Valentine E. Yoder, of New Bethlehem, were both using seat belts and were not injured.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene by McPherson Towing.

Jordan was cited for a turning violation.
