Coroner: Dialysis patient killed in icy medical van crash
EBENSBURG, Pa. - A coroner says a dialysis patient has been killed when the medical van he was in was hit head-on by another vehicle on an icy western Pennsylvania road.
Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees says 69-year-old Robert Frain was properly restrained in a wheelchair when the sport-utility vehicle hit the Med-Van about 9:25 a.m. Sunday in Cambria Township.
State police, including an accident reconstructionist, are trying to determine how the crash happened, but Lees says “it’s obvious weather was a factor. The road was snow-covered and icy.”
The drivers of both vehicles were taken to hospitals, though their names and conditions have yet to be released.
