WASHINGTON TWP., Pa. (EYT) – DuBois-based State Police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that occurred early Sunday morning involving a driver who was allegedly driving with a suspended license.
According to police, around 1:20 a.m. on Sunday, March 7, a hit-and-run crash occurred on Kyle Run Road just east of Stevenson Hill Road in Washington Township, Jefferson County.
Police say the accident involved 38-year-old Robert J. Steele, of Brockport.
According to police, Steele was operating a 2002 Subaru Forester, traveling east on Kyle Run Road, negotiating a left curve when he crossed over into the westbound lane, continued off the roadway, and struck a utility pole along the edge of a small bank with the driver’s door of the vehicle.
