Police Release Details of Two-Vehicle Crash in Richland Township

RICHLAND TWP., Pa. (EYT) — State police have released the details of a two-vehicle crash that occurred on Interstate 80 last week.

According to Clarion-based State Police, the collision happened around 6:19 a.m. on November 2, on I-80 eastbound near mile-marker 50.

Police say 52-year-old Ghulam Zahid, of Frisco, Texas, was operating a 2019 BMW traveling east in the right lane, slowing down due to the winter weather and snow on the roadway. He was struck from behind by a 2020 Freightliner truck operated by 42-year-old Christopher R. Brown, of Gatesville, Texas.

Following the initial impact, both vehicles were brought to a controlled stop on the berm of the highway.

Zahid and Brown were both using seat belts, and no injuries were reported.
