Woman taken to hospital after late Tuesday crash in Jefferson Township
An 80-year-old woman was injured Tuesday, Jan. 28, when she was involved in a two-vehicle car crash that happened just before midnight on Freeport Road in Jefferson Township.
State police said a Kia Optima being driven by Roberta Grondwalksi was traveling northwest on Freeport Road, and crashed into a Honda CR-V that did not yield to a stop sign and was making a left turn onto Freeport Road from Caldwell Drive.
According to a crash report, the Kia Optima, driven by 91-year-old Donald Loomis, of Butler, struck the Honda on its right side, sending both vehicles off the roadway. Police said the airbags in both vehicles deployed.
Everyone — the two passengers of the Kia and the two of the Honda — was wearing a seatbelt, police said.
