Traffic Accident In Boro

An  Emporium woman was life flighted to the Altoona Hospital with moderate injuries last Friday after her car crossed over the centerline and hit an oncoming pickup truck and then a parked car.

Esther D. McKimm, 80, of Emporium, PA, driver of a 2002 Dodge Neon, was transported by Emporium Ambulance to the Cameron County High School where she was airlifted by medical helicopter to the Altoona hospital.

Steven J. Welsh, 42, of Austin, PA, was driving a 1998 Ford F-150 pickup truck east on Fourth Street (Rt. 120), when McKimm's Neon, traveling west, crossed the center line and struck the pickup in the left front bumper. The neon then traveled back across the westbound lane and struck a 2002 Dodge Stratus that was parked on the north side of the roadway, then continuing off the roadway where it came to rest on the sidewalk.

Welsh was not injured. Both drivers were using their seatbelts.

McKimm will be cited for Driving on Roadways Laned For Traffic.

Emporium Fire Dept. and Emporium Ambulance assisted troopers on scene.
