One person was injured in a crash involving a garbage truck in Center Township on Tuesday.
Indiana County 911 dispatched the Coral-Graceton fire department at 12:16 PM for the crash, with Homer City fire crews and the county Hazmat team called out about 30-45 minutes later. Fire officials said that a garbage truck veered off the road and hit two utility poles before going over an embankment. The Hazmat team was called in due to a diesel fuel spill connected with the crash.
No word yet on why the driver went off the road. Homer City fire crews set up a landing zone at the Red Barn Sportsman’s club as the driver was flown from the scene of the crash to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. No word yet on the driver’s condition or the severity of the injuries.
