SANDY TOWNSHIP, Clearfield Co. – The investigation is ongoing into a fatal, multi-vehicle crash that occurred Saturday afternoon on Interstate 80 eastbound in Sandy Township, Clearfield County.
At approximately 3:13 p.m., DuBois-based state police say two vehicles involved were traveling on I-80 eastbound while another vehicle was traveling west in the eastbound lanes of travel.
