Another man, who was driving northbound in a 1982 Chevy K10 at the time, tried avoiding the Ford Focus, but the two vehicles collided head on, sending the truck airborne.

Kudos to ClearWater Conservancy and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for the recent addition of 1,271 acres to Rothrock State Forest.
ClearWater Conservancy acquired the land, formerly owned by Dry Hollow Hunting Club, and then transferred the property to DCNR to be added to Rothrock State Forest, where it will be permanently conserved and accessible to the public.
The Dry Hollow property, located northeast of Warriors Mark in northern Huntingdon County, is part of a distinct ecosystem stretching between State College and Tyrone, holding the state’s largest patch of rare woodland habitat known as pitch pine-scrub oak barrens.
