State police have issued a number of reports on accidents on Indiana County roadways, including one at about 8:35 yesterday morning in Black Lick Township. A driver whom police do not identify became distracted when her dog jumped onto her lap as she pulled out from her home and drove on Yankee Hill Road near Thompson Road in Black Lick Township. Police say the woman’s pickup truck hit a utility pole on her property.
Shortly after 5 PM, 19-year-old Morgan Truitt of Homer City lost control of her vehicle, dropping off Route 954 in Center Township twice, going up an embankment and back down, re-entering the highway and hitting a vehicle coming the other way.
