JEFFERSON COUNTY, Pa. (EYT) – State Police responded to a two-vehicle accident in Punxsutawney, Jefferson County, yesterday.
Police say the accident happened around 9:19 a.m. when a 2005 Ford F-550 PennDOT truck operated by Dennis E. Plyler, 53, of Punxsutawney, was traveling south on SR-119 and entering the left turning lane at the road’s intersection with SR-36.
Police say Plyer stopped his vehicle prior to attempting to make a left turn on SR-36.
A 2004 Jeep Liberty operated by Carey A. Elliot, 27, of Punxsutawney, then began to turn left from Torrence Street onto SR-199 and failed to see Plyler’s vehicle.
Elliot’s vehicle was subsequently struck by Plyer’s truck, police say.
Both drivers escaped injury in the crash.
