DUBOIS – Sandy Township police say three people were sent to the hospital following a motor vehicle crash Thursday night.
According to a department-issued news release, the crash occurred just before 10 p.m. on Thunderbird Road.
Reportedly, a 34-year-old DuBois man lost control of his vehicle while negotiating a curve in the roadway.
As a result, the vehicle traveled through a yard before colliding with a tree head-on.
After impact, the vehicle caught fire and was fully-engulfed when emergency personnel arrived on-scene.
All three occupants were able to exit the vehicle before it burst into flames, police said.
The driver and the backseat passenger – a 37-year-old Reynoldsville man – were flown to a trauma center.
The front-seat passenger – a 33-year-old DuBois woman – was transported to Penn Highlands for treatment of injuries.
