One killed, two injured in Cecil Township crash
An Oakdale man was killed Sunday night in a two-vehicle accident in Cecil Township that sent one car over a nearby hillside.
According to a Washington County 911 supervisor, first responders were called at about 8:20 p.m. to the intersection of State Route 980 and Clover Lane.
Cecil Township fire Chief Ted Wolford said the crash involved two cars that hit each other head-on.
“We had one fatality. The police department is investigating,” Wolford said.
On Monday, Washington County Coroner Timothy Warco identified the man who was killed as 55-year-old Charles Amic, of Oakdale.
According to Warco, Amic was driving south and crossed the center line into the opposing lane. A passenger in Amic’s car and the driver of the other vehicle were both hospitalized.
It was not immediately clear if Amic’s vehicle was the one that went over the hillside. Wolford referred all other questions to police.
Cecil Township police did not return a phone call seeking comment.
According to the 911 supervisor, one person was taken by ambulance to St. Clair Hospital and another to an unspecified Pittsburgh hospital. Amic’s specific cause and manner of death are pending further investigation.
Southbridge EMS and North Strabane Township Fire Department also responded to the scene of the crash.
