WHITE DEER TWP., UNION CO. (WOLF) \u2014 Pennsylvania State Police have released new details about a seven-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 that seriously injured five members of the same family after a tractor-trailer slammed into stopped traffic in a construction zone.<\/p>\n
According to state police, the crash happened at about 4:34 p.m. Monday on Interstate 80 westbound near mile marker 202 in White Deer Township, Union County.<\/p>\n
Investigators said a tractor-trailer driven by Gueye Gornarou, of the Bronx, New York, was traveling west when the driver failed to notice vehicles stopped in a construction-related traffic backup.<\/p>\n
Police said the tractor-trailer first struck a Dodge Ram driven by Drew Miller of Lock Haven and another tractor-trailer operated by Justin Jackson of Malvern, Ohio. The tractor-trailer then swerved into the left lane, where it struck a Honda Pilot driven by Lynn George of Delmont before jackknifing and colliding with a Mercedes-Benz driven by Melissa Neville of Hawthorne, New Jersey, and a Toyota Highlander driven by Timmie Oneil of Nineveh, New York.<\/p>\n
The impact pushed the Honda Pilot off the roadway into the center median, where it rolled over multiple times. Police said the tractor-trailer’s trailer then landed on top of the SUV.<\/p>\n
The Honda was carrying five members of the George family: Jayson George, 50; Lynn George, 44; a 17-year-old boy; a 14-year-old girl; and a 9-year-old boy. State police said Jayson George, the 9-year-old and the 17-year-old were flown to Geisinger Medical Center, while Lynn George and the 14-year-old were transported by ambulance.<\/p>\n
The investigation remains ongoing, and state police said additional information will be released as it becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHITE DEER TWP., UNION CO.
