A 29-year-old woman, identified as Brooklyn Meckley of Leechburg, was killed in a car crash in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, according to officials. The Westmoreland County coroner confirmed her death following a single-vehicle accident that occurred last night on Route 356 near the River Forest Country Club.
