Two people were taken by Stat MedEvac to Penn Highlands DuBois after an accident at 9:19 p.m. Sunday on Morrison Run Road south of Route 6 in Mead Township.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, Levi N. Hoffman, 21, of Clarendon was driving north on Morrison Run Road, a single-lane, dirt road with forest, embankments and waterways on either side. The vehicle was being driven around 45 miles an hour when Hoffman reportedly lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle went off the east side of the road, hitting a tree on the edge of a 30 foot drop off embankment and then rolling down the bank onto its right side onto its roof before coming to a stop against a tree about 15 feet down the embankment.
Hoffman was charged with careless driving – unintentional death. According to the police report, the crash involved driving under the influence.
During the crash, a passenger in Hoffman’s vehicle was ejected from the vehicle through the right side of the windshield. Hoffman and a passenger were taken to Penn Highlands DuBois for injuries of what State Police termed unknown severity while a third passenger was taken to Warren General Hospital by Emergycare for suspected serious injuries.
First responders on the scene include Emergycare, MedEvac, Clarendon volunteer firefighters and Koebley’s Towing as well as the Pennsylvania State Police.
