UPDATES:
One person had to be life flighted after an ATV crash on a farm in Conemaugh Township.
Indiana County 911 initially dispatched Tunnelton and Saltsburg fire departments and Lifestat Ambulance to the intersection of Tunnelton and Saltsburg roads for a reported vehicle accident at 7:09 PM. Black Lick and Iselin fire crews were called in eight minutes later to assist. The male victim was riding an ATV when it crashed about 100 feet from the road near the tree line. Crews had to use UTV’s and a pickup truck to get the victim to the road.
The victim was treated on-scene before being flown to Allegheny General Hospital for treatment. His name and current condition were not released.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Fire company reports the structure fire was a minor incident.
Indiana Fire Officials said the call turned out to be a malfunction with a light ballast for some florescent lighting in the basement. All other crews were cancelled, but Indiana stayed on scene to ventilate the smoke and smell out of the house.
