(Daugherty Township, Pa) At least one person was transported by lifeflight following an accident on Route 68 between New Brighton and New Sewickley Township. Route 68 was shut down as of 4pm between Tulip Drive and the 4 corner intersection with Deer Lane and Big Knob Road. It is unclear how many people were involved.

A person who was traveling on the road shortly before the accident told Beaver County Radio they witnessed a car swerving across the road. We have also heard reports a vehicle may have drove off of a hill.

New Brighton Fire Department declined to comment at the scene and we are working on getting a statement from Daugherty Township Fire Department.
