ELYSBURG, PA : 10 hurt, 3 critically in Ralpho crash on Saturday, March 11th 2017

One man and two young children were hospitalized in critical condition following a two-vehicle crash in Ralpho Township that sent 10 people to the hospital on Saturday night.

Ralpho Township police are investigating the accident that occurred at about 10:20 p.m. just east of Woodruff’s Farm on Route 54. Police said Jenny M. Rodriguez-Colon, 40, of Lebanon, was driving a 2000 Nissan Quest east when she lost control after hitting a patch of ice. The vehicle fishtailed and traveled went into the path of a vehicle driven by Nicholas K. Bennett, 22, of Doylestown.

Police said Bennett was westbound when his 2015 Chevrolet Suburban struck the passenger side of the other vehicle. Victor Colon-Negron, no age or hometown listed, a front seat passenger in the Rodriguez-Colon vehicle, was ejected. Colon-Negron and a 2-year-old girl and a 9-month-old boy, also passengers in the Nissan, were taken to Geisinger Medical Center and admitted in critical condition, police said. Colon-Negron remained in critical condition on Sunday night, according to a nursing supervisor, who could not provide conditions on the two children because police did not list their names.

Meanwhile, Bennett’s passengers, Rodger C. Wintersteen, 58, Gina Bross, 56, Tierney Bross, 27, Sioban Bross, 25, and Michael Bross, 21, all of Danville, and Bennett, along with Rodriguez-Colon, were treated at Geisinger and released, police said.

Both vehicles were heavily damaged and had to be towed from the scene. Assisting police at the scene were the Elysburg EMS and fire units, Overlook Fire Company and Danville and Sunbury EMS.
