Two people were injured in a two-vehicle crash late Saturday night in Lavelle, according to local fire officials.
Emergency crews from several departments, including Station 2 (Lavelle), District 46 (Gordon), District 13 (Hegins), District 38 (Ashland), and District 52 (Minersville), responded to the scene after an iPhone crash detection alert reported a possible accident. A second call confirmed the crash and reported injuries.
When responders arrived, they found two vehicles with significant damage. Rescue crews used extrication tools to remove a door and reach one of the victims. Both patients were treated at the scene and taken to the hospital by ambulance.
A medical helicopter was placed on standby but was not needed. The Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
No further information on the patients’ conditions has been released.
