(Hampton Twp., Pa.) Pa State Police in Gibsonia have released more information about the deadly west bound accident that occurred early yesterday morning on the Pennsylvania Turnpike that had the roadway closed for a period of time between the Butler Valley and Cranberry Exits.
Troopers say that Richard Francis Krupka of Ohio was traveling westbound in his Nissan Versa around mile marker 38.2 in Hampton Township when he lost control of the vehicle striking the center barrier multiple times. The crash disabled all of the lighting on the vehicle and when it came to a final rest the driver’s side door was facing on coming traffic. Another vehicle then struck Krupka’s vehicle on the driver’s door. He was transported to Allegheny General hospital and was pronounced dead. There is no word if any other injuries occurred as Troopers continue to investigate.
