BELL TWP., Pa. (EYT) – DuBois-based State Police say a two-vehicle crash occurred late Friday night on Troutville Road, in Bell Township, Clearfield County.
According to police, around 11:30 p.m. on Friday, October 13, a 16-year-old DuBois female was driving a 2009 Honda CRV south on Route 3009 in Bell Township when a deer jumped in front of her vehicle. When the teen applied the brakes, her Honda was struck in the rear by a 2007 Nissan Xterra, driven by another a 16-year-old DuBois female.

They were treated at Penn Highlands DuBois.
A 15-year-old female passenger of the Nissan from Rockton was not injured.
