According to a release from Forest County Coroner Norman J. Wimer, 18-year-old Josiah Whitney, of Port Allegany, Pa., was pronounced dead at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash on State Route 66 in Jenks Township, Forest County, around 12:30 p.m. on August 12.
While the investigation is ongoing, the coroner has released a few details.
The release states Whitney’s vehicle was traveling northbound on Route 66 and apparently (he) did not see a stopped vehicle, with only one occupant, that was waiting for oncoming traffic to turn left.
“Whitney hit the turning vehicle flipping his own vehicle into the path of the southbound traffic lane. A large pickup truck pulling a travel trailer then struck Mr. Whitney’s vehicle,” Wimer said.
