After a busy Thursday, Indiana County’s first responders had a relatively calm day on Friday, but two vehicle accidents were reported.
The first was at 9:20 in the morning when a crash was reported on Route 422 in Pine Township. Pine and Cherryhill Township fire departments were sent out. Pine Township fire officials said that a car had rear-ended a pickup truck, and then went on to hit a utility pole near the west side intersection with Route 403. While the pole did not break, REA Energy was called out to replace it. Both drivers were checked by responding EMTs and were cleared at the scene.
The second was on Route 56 East in Brush Valley Township. Brush Valley and Armagh fire department were sent out at 5:56 PM. Brush Valley Fire Officials said that a car was headed East on 56 when it crossed the center line for an unknown reason and hit a utility pole. Penelec crews repaired the pole. The driver was taken to IRMC for treatment.
Saltsburg fire department was sent into Westmoreland County at 10:57 yesterday on an automatic fire alarm activation in Bell Township.
And Coral and Homer City fire departments were sent out for what was classified as an “unknown-type fire” on Cedar Street in Center Township at 4:51 PM. Fire officials said that the fire was a controlled burn falsely reported as a brush fire, and crews were cancelled quickly.
