WEST BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Two people are dead after a car went over embankment and ended up on its roof in Washington County.
Washington County Coroner Tim Warco says a vehicle lost control while traveling west on Clarksville Road in West Bethlehem Township between 4:15 p.m. Saturday and 9:20 a.m. Sunday, leaving the roadway and going down an embankment.
Authorities were notified of the crash when a passerby came across the scene around 9:20 a.m. Sunday and called 911, Warco says.
Troopers responded to the scene where they found the vehicle 100 feet down the hillside on its roof. Police said a woman, later identified as 36-year-old Brittany Therese Crile, was ejected from the vehicle and died from her injuries.
State police said they believed there may have been a second person inside of the vehicle during the crash because of items they found inside.
Multiple troopers searched the area and found a man, identified as 46-year-old Joseph Crile, dead inside an abandoned home in the 100 block of Clarksville Road.
State police continue to investigate with the Washington County Coroner’s Office.
