A New Stanton man was seriously injured Friday after state police said he tried to pass another vehicle on Arona Road in Hempfield.
A Toyota Sienna with two occupants slowed near the road’s intersection with Davinci Drive around 8:30 p.m. to make a left turn. Troopers said James D. Herrin, 68, failed to slow down or stop the Chevrolet Silverado he was driving and crossed over the center line to pass the minivan.
The pickup hit the minivan’s driver’s side and went off the road, slamming into a utility pole and flipping over twice, police said. Items in the bed of the truck were scattered on the road.
Herrin was taken to UPMC Presbyterian for treatment of serious injuries.
The man and woman, both of Greensburg, in the minivan had suspected minor injuries and were hospitalized, police said.
