What Happened on I-79?
Pennsylvania State Police report that a car accident on Interstate 79 killed a 17-year-old girl from Fairview and caused significant traffic detours on I-79 northbound for much of Sunday. The tragic accident occurred at 12:42 p.m. on I-79 northbound, north of the Kearsarge exit near Millcreek Mall. The victim, a passenger in a car driven by a 19-year-old girl, died in the collision.

As her car merged onto I-79 from the ramp, it crossed the right lane of travel and moved into the left lane, colliding with another northbound vehicle. Following the incident, the driver lost control of her vehicle, which rolled several times, ejecting the 17-year-old passenger. The car came to rest on its roof in the right lane of traffic. The other northbound vehicle stopped in the median. Two individuals from Pittsburgh in the other vehicle were unharmed.
