Details Still Emerging From the Scene
Little else has been made public about what led up to the crash at Park Avenue and Lagonda Road. The station said it had reached out to Pennsylvania State Police for more information, but no additional details about the driver, the vehicle, or the circumstances of the collision were available as of Friday morning.
South Franklin Township is in Washington County. This is not the first time the Park Avenue corridor in nearby North Franklin Township has been the site of a serious crash. Back in November 2017, a two-vehicle collision at Park Avenue and VanKirk Road in North Franklin injured three people, according to a report at the time from the Observer-Reporter. The relationship between that earlier incident and Friday's crash at Park Avenue and Lagonda Road has not been established.
What Remains Unknown
As of Friday morning, the identity and age of the person struck by the car have not been released, nor has any information about their injuries or treatment. It is also unclear whether the driver involved has faced any citations or other enforcement action. This remains a developing story, and further updates are expected as Pennsylvania State Police and other officials share more information.
