WINSLOW TWP., Pa. (EYT) – According to DuBois-based State Police, a two-vehicle accident occurred on State Route 322, west of Church Street, in Winslow Township, Jefferson County.

According to police, Homan was traveling eastbound on Route 322 in a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am. There was a line of cars in front of her vehicle slowing down, so the first one could turn into a driveway.

Homan – traveling behind Robinson – failed to come to a stop, and her Pontiac Grand Am struck the Ford Expedition in the rear.

The Pontiac sustained disabling damage and was towed from the scene by Jewell’s Towing. The Ford was able to be driven away from the scene.
