Clinton County, PA (April 9, 2025) – A serious multi-vehicle injury crash occurred on Wednesday evening in Clinton County, prompting full road closures and lane restrictions on US 220. The incident, reported by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), happened shortly after 6:30 p.m. between Exit 109 to PA 150 (Mill Hall/Flemington) and Exit 111 to PA 120 W (Lock Haven).
Authorities say the crash involved multiple vehicles and resulted in several critical injuries, including at least one person who was entrapped and had to be extricated by firefighters. Emergency crews from the Lock Haven Fire Department responded swiftly, assisting with the extrication and tending to the victims. Ambulances transported the injured individuals to nearby hospitals for emergency care.
Both northbound lanes of US 220 were closed for several hours while emergency responders worked to clear the wreckage and investigate the crash. Southbound lanes were also affected, with lane restrictions in place between Exit 111 and Exit 109.
PennDOT has since confirmed that all lanes have been reopened, though they continue to urge drivers to follow posted speed limits, avoid distractions, and be especially cautious in high-traffic areas. They also reminded drivers to take turns merging at the appropriate points in congested conditions.
Our thoughts are with all those injured in this crash as they begin the path toward healing and recovery.
Injury Multi-Car Accidents in Clinton County
Multi-vehicle crashes involving injuries are a recurring issue in Clinton County and throughout Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), there were 427 reportable traffic crashes in Clinton County in 2023. Of those, 144 involved injuries, and five were fatal. Although the county is largely rural, its highways—such as US 220—handle substantial traffic, including commercial trucks, which can heighten the risk of high-impact collisions.
The combination of high-speed travel, merging zones, and limited lighting in certain stretches often contributes to multi-car pileups, especially during peak travel times or in adverse weather. Emergency response teams in Clinton County, including local fire departments and EMS, are trained to act quickly in these situations, but timely extrication and medical attention remain critical in minimizing the severity of injuries.
