PITTSBURGH (AP) — Police say a wrong-way driver collided head-on with another car in a western Pennsylvania tunnel, critically injuring the other driver. State police in Pittsburgh say the vehicle entered Route 1376 traveling west in the eastbound lanes shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday. Police said the car entered the Fort Pitt tunnel under Mount Washington, still traveling in the wrong direction, and collided head-on with another car. The 36-year-old driver of the other car was taken to a local hospital and listed in critical condition with multiple injuries. The other 21-year-old driver was uninjured.

Garrison Day usually doesn’t signify the arrival of fall, but the annual event in downtown Beaver did just that with considerable flair.

Beaver County Radio spun the tunes (quite literally, in some cases) and the prize wheel for those attending Garrison Day, with a few big winners along the way.

Garrison Day 2021 proved to be a great success.. The event attracted a large number of people who were able to visit numerous vendors of goods such as local art, clothing, jewelery and food. After things began to wrap up, organizers asked vendors if they would prefer a September in the future.

Our coverage of Garrison Day was made possible with the sponsorship of the Beaver Valley Auto Mall, Patriot Home Care, and Angie Peluso of Remax Select Realty.
