Two injured in crash on I-70 in Fulton County

Two people were injured in a vehicle crash on Interstate 70 in the Warfordsburg area on Wednesday, December 7.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, the crash occurred in the area of the 160 mile marker as a 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage was traveling east on I-70.

Police said the car was traveling too fast for the conditions while traveling in the right lane.

The car left the roadway, striking a guardrail on the right side of the road with the right front before spinning around.

Police said the car crossed back over the right lane and over the left lane, striking a guardrail on left side of the interstate before coming to a final rest in the left lane, facing west.

The front and side curtain airbags deployed as a result of the crash, police said.

Neither the driver, Shea S. Lee, 27, Philipsburg, Pa., nor the passenger, Kevin P , Sybert, 30, of Hagerstown, were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.

Hancock Rescue Squad transported Lee to Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown with minor injuries. Police said Sybert suffered a possible injury but refused treatment and was not transported.

Needmore Fire Department and PennDot also assisted at the scene.

The Mirage was towed by Fischer’s Towing.
