According to a criminal complaint, around 6:25 p.m. on August 28, DuBois-based State Police responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash on Route 219 approximately 200 feet south of Westville Road in Snyder Township, Jefferson County.
At the scene, they found that a silver 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, operated by Anthony John Mancuso Jr., had crossed over from the southbound lane into the northbound lane and struck a silver 2008 Jeep Wrangler head-on, occupied by two known victims.
The complaint states police interviewed the victims, who both reported Mancuso crossed into their lane and struck them head on. The female victim also related she had just ended an eight-year dating relationship with Mancuso earlier that day. The complaint notes the victim was noticeably shaken up and was crying at the scene.
Mancuso was then interviewed.
According to the complaint, he reported the female victim had ended their relationship earlier that day and stated she had items of his that he wanted back. He told police he was traveling south when he saw the victim’s vehicle traveling north and reportedly admitted he crossed into the victims’ lane of travel and struck their vehicle head-on.
Mancuso stated he intended to stop the victims from moving, the complaint states.
Mancuso’s vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage and multiple air bags were deployed as a result of the crash. The victim’s vehicle sustained internal disabling damage from the crash.
Mancuso Jr was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Gregory M. Bazylak at 9:00 a.m. on August 29.
