JEFFERSON CO., Pa. (EYT) — Two men were killed in a crash that occurred on Monday night on Route 219, in Washington Township, Jefferson County.

According to DuBois-based State Police, 32-year-old Corey Alan Williams, of Reynoldsville, and 33-year-old Patrick Charles Straub, of Kersey, were involved in the collision.

Police say around 7:10 p.m. on Monday, September 17, Williams was traveling south on State Route 219, just south of Brubaker Road, in Washington Township. He lost control of his 1997 Jeep Cherokee and traveled into the northbound lane of Route 219 striking Straub’s 2015 Toyota 4 Runner that was traveling north on Route 219.
