4 injured in 3-vehicle crash on Route 30 in Unity
May 29—At least four motorists were injured, one critically, in a three-vehicle crash Thursday morning on Route 30 in Unity.
Two women were taken by ambulance to AHN Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, one in critical condition and the other in stable condition, following the crash near the Theatre Street intersection, according to Mutual Aid Ambulance Service spokesman Shawn Penzera.
He said a man and woman who were in stable condition were taken by ambulance to Independence Health Latrobe Hospital for treatment.
According to preliminary information from state police, a Chevrolet Monte Carlo sideswiped a Ford F-150 pickup as the Monte Carlo went over the median and collided head-on with a Chevrolet Trailblazer. The Monte Carlo ended up facing the wrong way in the westbound lane.
All three vehicles were towed.
Unity firefighters responded to the collision, which occurred shortly before 7:30 a.m., a Westmoreland County Public Safety supervisor said.
A section of Route 30 was closed between Theatre Street and the Route 30 Shoppes Plaza until about 11 a.m., while the wreckage was cleared and state police from Greensburg investigated.
Additional details were not available.

Allegheny Health Network warns most Signa customers could lose in-network coverage unless agreement is reached
Allegheny Health Network is warning that most Cigna members won't have in-network access to its physicians and facilities unless a new agreement can be reached by the end of the month. In a letter sent to patients, Allegheny Health Networks said it has been "unable to reach a fair and mutually acceptable agreement" with Cigna after several months of negotiation. "We understand how disconcerting and stressful this news may be for you, and please know that it is our sincerest hope that we will reach a new agreement with Cigna before June 30 that will enable you to continue receiving the health care services you need at AHN over the long term," AHN's letter read. If the contract does end, the health system said it's "committed" to making sure there are no care disruptions for Cigna members who are actively in treatment. AHN also said it will try to ensure that transitions to new physicians, if necessary, are "seamless." "In the unfortunate event that AHN's contract with Cigna does come to an end, however, our highest priority will be minimizing the inconvenience, stress, and burden of this development on you and other Cigna members," the letter says. AHN encourages anyone with questions to contact the Cigna customer service line on the back of their card or call 1-800-997-1654. In 2023, about 20,000 Cigna customers were at risk of losing in-network coverage at Allegheny Health Network facilities, but the two did reach an agreement.

After Harrison, New York police kill bear, outcry erupts
Police in Westchester County, New York shot and killed a bear Monday. The shooting has prompted second guessing and an outcry on social media. It happened in a residential neighborhood in the suburban hamlet of West Harrison. Located about 22 miles northeast of New York City, it is filled with densely packed, well-kept homes. Residents there are not accustomed to seeing a black bear parading through their back yards. "I wish there was a better outcome. No one likes seeing this be the final outcome," West Harrison resident Douglas Puff said. "You could tell just by looking at it, anytime anyone got close, the police department, the bear was scared." "We heard the poor thing growling and moaning" An officer with the state Department of Environmental Conservation was with Harrison police as they tracked the bear through the neighborhood. DEC told Harrison toe let the bear leave the area on its own, unless it became a threat to public safety. Monday afternoon, the bear climbed a tree. A police officer fired a shot, and the bear fell and later died. "We heard the gunshot, we heard the poor thing growling and moaning, and that really upset the kids," Puff said. It also upset many on social media, who directed their anger at Harrison police. One of the milder posts reads "this is horrible - do better." Harrison Police issued a statement defending the "difficult decision to euthanize the bear in the interest of public safety," saying the department could not obtain help with non-lethal intervention such as tranquilizing or trapping it. Resident Alicia Terrana hopes the department learns from this. "Preparation so that a better decision can be made in the future to spare the bear's life," Terrrana said. Local police say they will review training and follow up with state conservation officials.
