Narrative
FRANKLIN CO., PA – A major crash involving an RV and a semi-truck near Greene Township claimed the lives of five people on Wednesday night.
The crash took place just before 9 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-81 between Exit 16 (U.S. 30 – Lincoln Way) and Exit 20 (PA 997 – Scotland) in Greene Township.
Investigators say the left front tire of the RV blew out, causing the vehicle to veer into the oncoming lanes, where it slammed head-on into the semi.
All four occupants of the RV and the truck’s driver were pronounced dead at the scene. A dog in the RV also died in the crash.
