A pickup truck ran off a road and slammed into a tree in Milford Township, Bucks County, during Sunday’s snowstorm, killing two 18-year-passengers in the vehicle, state police said.
The 17-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital with unspecified serious injuries.
Michelle Goodwin, of Pennsburg, and Daniel Pierson, of Red Hill, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened about 5:25 p.m. on John Fries Highway near Brinkman Road, police said.
Police said they were in a 1995 Ford Ranger heading east on the highway when the vehicle ran off the road and into a tree.
It was not immediately clear whether weather conditions played a factor in the crash. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, police said.
Snowfall totals from the storm varied widely around the Philadelphia region, with six inches or more falling in places north and west of the city, and hardly any snow falling in other locations.
