BLOSSBURG, PA - A high impact crash injures a female driver on Saturday morning, March 20, 2021, around 10:44AM in Bloss Township.

The accident occurred along the northbound lane of Route 15 approximately two to three miles from the Blossburg Exit.

Blossburg and Liberty fire crews were dispatched to the crash scene. Liberty's unit was used to block off the right lane so that traffic could pass through the area safely.

A Rogue SV 4WD was operated by a Pennsylvania female driver who was traveling north at a high rate of speed. It is unknown what caused the woman to travel off the roadway and strike the guiderail with such force that it broke and penetrated her vehicle. The guiderail punctured the driver's door and traveled through the vehicle and exited out the back seat passenger door.
FNN was told that a Sheriff's vehicle was seen in pursuit of the fast moving vehicle moments before the terrible crash.

The female was transported to UPMC Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital in Wellsboro for treatment of her injuries. The extent of her injuries is unknown at this time.

Fire crews remained on scene for over two and half hours.

The American Truck Stop Towing service crew had to cut the guiderail to remove the vehicle which hung just over the embankment.

The vehicle was removed and the roadway was reopened around 1:25PM. All fire personnel were cleared to return to their station around 1:27PM.

Pennsylvania State Police based in Mansfield are handling the investigation into this hard hitting crash.
