ETNA, Pa. — A Jeep crashed off a road, ending up partially over a hillside Tuesday morning in Etna.
The crash was reported about 7:30 a.m. along Snyder Street.
The driver said he was coming down Kittanning Street when his brakes stopped working and he veered off the road to avoid hitting a school bus.

Neighbors were surprised the driver wasn’t seriously hurt.
“He crawled out and everything was good. All the airbags saved him from getting hurt any more than he did,” Donna Odom said.
A tow truck was brought in to pull the Jeep up from the wooded hillside.
Driver told me he was coming down Kittanning when his brakes stopped working. He veered off the road to avoid hitting a school bus and the Patriot went into this wooded area. He’s fine. No injuries. Shaken up. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/aceygkJESg
