Elk Creek Township, PA – Late last night, at just before 11:45 PM, first responders from the Cranesville Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched to a reported motor vehicle accident involving a vehicle that had collided with a tree, off the roadway, near 11200 Pont Road. The accident took place on Pont Road between Reservoir Road and Whittaker Road.

Cranesville’s Ambulance 607 promptly responded to the scene, arriving within minutes. Upon arrival, the crew reported finding a single vehicle with reportedly heavy damage. Engine 604 arrived shortly thereafter to provide additional support. Engine 604 temporarily closed a small portion of Pont Road near the incident for the safety of first responders and the limited space available for emergency vehicles.

One individual was transported to UPMC Hamot for medical care. Once the Pennsylvania State Police completed their initial assessment, Cranesville units were released from the scene and returned to service. The Pennsylvania State Police remained on-site, awaiting the arrival of the towing company and continuing their investigation.
