ELK TWP., Pa. (EYT) — One man was transported by ambulance following a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 322 in Elk Township Saturday morning.

According to police, around 9:25 a.m. on Saturday, June 16, 71-year-old Melvin W. Kapp of Shippenville was operating a 2000 Subaru Outback, attempting to turn left onto U.S. 322 from State Route 4013 (Pine City Road).

At the same time, 29-year-old Lane E. Bowser of Knox was operating a 2004 GM Yukon, traveling west in the right lane of U.S. 322.
