Two people were injured during a single-vehicle crash Monday morning along Route 309 in West Penn Township.
Township police Chief Brian Johnson said the incident occurred around 10 a.m. across from the Penn Mahoning Ambulance garage at 1775 West Penn Pike.
Johnson said a truck was traveling southbound on Route 309 when the driver suffered some kind of medical condition and crossed over the lanes.
He said the vehicle hit a pole, fence and building at Storage Solutions before coming to rest on top of 2-by-2-by-6 concrete blocks.
Johnson said the driver sustained minor injuries, while a passenger asleep in the rear sleeper was injured and taken to St. Luke’s Miners Campus.
He said the crash remains under investigation, and the outcome of a blood draw from the driver will determine if any citations will be issued.
Also assisting at the scene were the West Penn Fire Department, Penn Mahoning Ambulance, West Penn fire police, Verizon, PPL and Blue Ridge.
