HARRISBURG, Pa. (WKBN) – There were six fatalities in crashes across Pennsylvania over the Christmas holiday, ranging from Dec. 24-28.
That number reflects crashes handled by state agencies and not those by local police.
There were 1,007 crashes, and impaired driving was identified as a factor in 53 of them.
During the five-day holiday weekend, troopers arrested 207 individuals for driving under the influence and issued the following citations:
155 for failing to wear a seat belt.
10 for not securing children in safety seats.
WKBN sister station WTRF reported that three people were killed and three others were hurt in a head-on crash on Christmas Day in Centre County, Pennsylvania State Police said. The details were first reported by KDKA.
State police said the crash happened about 2:30 p.m. on North Eagle Valley Road near Swartz Hollow Road in Howard Township. Investigators said a Pontiac G6 and a Nissan Pathfinder crossed the center line and collided head-on.
Howard Township is about 150 miles east of Pittsburgh.
