Two people were killed in a fiery crash in Loyalsock Township early Monday.
Investigators are trying to identify the man and woman who were killed in the crash at the bridge over Miller Run, where Washington Boulevard and East Third Street merge, according to Lycoming County Chief Deputy Coroner Jerold Ross.
It was believed the vehicle, which was an SUV, was traveling east but investigators have not yet said which road they were traveling on.
The firefighters and police were dispatched at 1:45 a.m., according to the County 911 Center.
Investigators said that the vehicle struck the bridge wall, went through railings and burst into flames. The vehicle went down a 10 foot embankment.

Unseen Genius West Philly author Fran Ross published a novel in 1974 that the world ignored. Now, she’s a literary force. Unseen Genius West Philly author Fran Ross published a novel in 1974 that the world ignored. Now, she’s a literary force. Heroines don’t always show up the way that Fran Ross wrote Oreo. Oreo was cut from an entirely different cloth. While Oreo shares many attributes with Blaxploitation heroines of the era, her quest has nothing to do with rescuing or avenging a boyfriend who’s in trouble or dead, like Sugar Hill or Cleopatra Jones. Her story isn’t fueled by surviving violent trauma like Foxy Brown. Foxy Brown’s rape in that 1974 film, as Morehouse cinema scholar Stephane Dunn has explained, becomes “a metaphor for racial power relations.” Consider the direction that Fran Ross took that same trope in her novel that same year.
