Former Penn State WR Crushshon-Fleming hurt, passenger killed in Bradford County ATV crash
One person is dead and another hospitalized after an all terrain vehicle collided with a deer late Friday, May 23 in Bradford County.
Pennsylvania State Police at Towanda identified the victim as Alyssa D. Boyd, 23, of Bloomburg, Pennsylvania, and said she was a passenger in an ATV operated by 24-year-old Julian Crushshon-Fleming, of Elysburg, Pennsylvania.
The crash took place around 8:13 p.m. Friday on Painter Lick Drive in Columbia Township, near the Bradford-Tioga County border, state police said.
Crushshon-Fleming was operating a 2024 Yamaha ATV northbound on Painter Lick Drive when the vehicle struck a deer that jumped into the roadway, troopers said.
State police said neither of the occupants of the ATV were wearing safety equipment.
Boyd suffered extensive injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Crushshon-Fleming was transported to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. A hospital spokesperson said he was not admitted.
Troopers also located a recently-killed deer on the scene consistent with damage observed on the ATV.

Crushshon-Fleming was a football standout who was a wide receiver for Ohio State before transferring to Penn State University last year.
He signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent, but reportedly failed his physical and didn't join the team.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by Pennsylvania State Police collision analysis and reconstruction specialists, Guthrie EMS and the Troy Fire Department. The investigation into the crash is continuing.
