A Blairsville man was seriously hurt in a two-vehicle crash Thursday morning in Derry Township, according to state police.
Troopers said William A. Schietroma, 61, was driving a Hyundai Elantra north on Route 217 at 6:45 a.m. when he crossed over the center line and slammed into a Chevrolet Cobalt headed south.
