Man flown by helicopter after Middlesex crash
A man was flown by helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital Tuesday after a one-vehicle rollover in Middlesex Township on Glade Mill Road.
The road, located near the Clinton Township line, was temporarily closed to traffic, according to Butler County 911 dispatchers, and cleared by 10 a.m. An official said the man was taken to Allegheny General Hospital.
Emergency dispatchers said the call came in at 8:24 a.m. A passerby saw that the guard rail along the side of the road was damaged, looked over the hill, and saw a crashed vehicle, officials said.
The vehicle was a three-wheeled convertible Vanderhall Motor Works Venice roadster.
Middlesex fire Chief Walt Hamilton said that a neighbor told first responders they had earlier heard screeching sounds and a collision at approximately 3 a.m.
Middlesex Township Volunteer Fire Company, Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company, Adams Area Fire District, Quality EMS, UPMC Passavant Advanced Response Unit and the Middlesex Township Police responded to the incident.
