Pennsylvania State Police Investigate Fatal 25-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 79
A tragic series of crashes involving 25 vehicles occurred on Interstate 79 in Butler County, Pennsylvania, resulting in the death of an 18-year-old and injuries to nine others. The incident took place on Friday morning, leading to the closure of both northbound and southbound lanes between Exit 78 and Exit 88 for several hours. The Pennsylvania State Police reported that the crashes were caused by rapidly changing weather conditions, which left the roads unexpectedly snow-covered and icy. The deceased was identified as Evan Gingo, a freshman at Slippery Rock University. The university has offered resources to support students and staff affected by the tragedy. The crashes also left about 20 vehicles stranded on the highway. Witnesses described chaotic scenes with vehicles, including cars, SUVs, and tractor-trailers, spinning out of control and blocking the road.
