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.
