Authorities have released the identities of two people involved in a fatal accident Wednesday night in Indiana County.
Troopers say they were called out at 6:25 PM to the 3000 block of Route 85 in South Mahoning Township for the collision between a Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by 51-year-old Rory Gittings of Shelocta and a Dodge Caravan driven by 41-year-old Maurice Hayden of New Kensington.
The motorcycle was going east when it drifted into the westbound lane and collided with the van head-on. Gittings suffered significant injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Hayden and one of the two adult passengers in the van with him were treated for reported minor injuries. A second passenger in the van was taken to IRMC for treatment.
