There were two fatal accidents in the area over the weekend, one Saturday afternoon in North Mahoning Township and the other Sunday evening on Margaret Road in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County.
The crash on Saturday involved a motorcycle operated by a 75-year-old New Kensington man. State police say 75-year-old William Baker’s cycle twice left Route 210 between Trade City and the Valier turnoff and striking an embankment before finally veering off the highway again, traveling through a resident’s yard and striking some gas line piping. Baker was thrown from the bike and fatally injured. He was wearing a helmet.
The other accident, which happened last night shortly before 8 o’clock, took the life of a 21-year-old Apollo woman. State police say they attempted a traffic stop on a car driven by Madison Sapinsky on Margaret Road, but Sapinsky fled at a high rate of speed on the curvy road. She lost control on a left-hand curve and left the roadway, striking a tree.
State troopers pulled Sapinsky from her burning car and attempted CPR, but she died at the scene.
