- No injuries were reported following a two-vehicle accident at 9:15 a.m. Friday along Interstate 80 at its intersection with the exit 101 eastbound on-ramp in Sandy Township, Clearfield County. A vehicle driven by George M. Krewson, 58, of Chalfont was traveling eastbound in the right lane at the 101 mile marker. He lost control of his vehicle on the snow-covered roadway, and it began rotating in a clockwise motion. His vehicle slid onto the south berm, where it struck a vehicle that had been driven by Barbara J. Benson, 67, of New Castle but had been sitting disabled from a previous accident. The Krewson vehicle then slid north back onto the roadway, where it came to a rest along the north berm of I-80 eastbound and partially on the road. Both Krewson and Benson were wearing their safety belts at the time of the mishap.
