Woman Injured in Freeport Road Crash Near Pine Border
The woman was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
A one car crash that sent the driver to the hospital shut down Freeport Road near the Franklin Road intersection in Marshall Township at the border with Cranberry and Pine townships for about an hour Tuesday.
When first responders arrived in the area, they initially could not find the car, MacMillan said.
About 30 minutes later, they discovered the overturned car in the woods off Freeport Road, about a half-mile from where the woman said she crashed.
MacMillan said the driver, who he believes is from Cranberry, hit a tree after the car left the road.

The crash also knocked over a pine tree, which covered the car, making it difficult for emergency responders to see it from the road. MacMillan did not know what caused the driver, whose name has not been released, to lose control of the car.
MacMillan said firefighters were able to pop open the back door of the vehicle and assist the woman, who was conscious, from the overturned car. He did not know the extent of the woman’s injuries.
