A Saltsburg man was one of two people hurt in a crash last Friday in Bell Township in Westmoreland County.
State police from the Kiski barracks said the crash happened on Route 819 north of McDivitt Drive. An SUV driven by 87-year-old Ruth Diekoff of Avonmore rear-ended a postal delivery truck driven by 31-year-old Tyler Tuttle of Saltsburg as he was stopped to deliver mail. Diekoff’s vehicle spun out after impact and hit a box truck driven by 49-year-old Jason Trayers of Larimer. The SUV came to rest on someone’s front lawn.
Both Diekoff and Tuttle were taken to Forbes Regional Hospital for treatment of suspected minor injuries. All three vehicles had to be towed.
