(Lawrence County, PA) Pennsylvania State Police in New Castle report that a man from Portersville, Pennsylvania had charges withdrawn by police after he caused a two-vehicle crash in Shenango Township on Tuesday. Twenty-seven-year-old Jason Wallace was driving south on Old State Road in Lawrence County and side swiped the vehicle of sixty-three-year-old Jacqueline Pisano of New Castle, who was driving north of that same road. This crash occurred because a young female juvenile passenger distracted Wallace, who veered to the northbound part of Old State Road. Wallace and Pisano both had their seatbelts on when the crash occurred and there were no injuries to the parties that were involved in this crash. Castle Towing towed the vehicle of both Wallace and Pisano. The Slippery Rock Township Fire Department and the Shenango Township Police Department assisted Pennsylvania State Police in New Castle on the scene of this incident.

Communication, respect, friendship, teamwork and a genuine excitement for life.

Those are attributes that have helped make a Pittsburgh couple final-four finalists in a national contest.

Popular rock ‘n’ roller Byron Nash and his girlfriend, Steph, are ranked second currently in public voting for the “America’s Favorite Couple” contest, where a $20,000 prize is up for grabs.

Votes can be cast through 7 p.m. tonight here at americasfavoritecouple.org. 

Nash is guitarist and founder of the rock band NASH.V.ILL, which performs regularly at Fermata Brewing Co. in Ambridge, and has played Beaver County venues like Beaver Station & Cultural Events Center and the Carnegie Library of Beaver Falls.

He and Steph met through their ventures as health and wellness professionals.

Their contest bio:

How did your love story begin?

We met at a gym at turning points in both of our lives – Byron becoming a coach to elevate what was possible for him personally and professionally, Stephanie seeking intense workouts to address difficult life circumstances with physical renewal. We both were on the path of growth and self love, seeking our best selves. That small window of connecting over growth transitioned into a passion for each other. Now, we get to walk the path of growth, love, and abundance together!

What is your favorite memory you’ve shared as a couple?

Walking the beach each morning in the Bahamas with her dad and stepmom—two miles to the gym and back. The conversations were rich, and by getting to know her dad, I came to understand her more deeply. That trip expanded our vision for what’s possible: living abundantly not just for ourselves, but to overflow joy to our families, friends, communities, and beyond.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d invest in our dream home—a space to gather loved ones and to renew ourselves. We envision a sanctuary for creativity, rest, and purpose. With it, Byron would share his music, Steph her writing, and both of our stories to inspire others to love themselves and trust that the life of their dreams is possible.
