BRADFORD, PA : Investigation into Duke Center crash ongoing on Thursday, 13th September 2018

The bystanders injured in a Duke Center car crash that claimed a Bradford woman’s life have been released from the hospital, McKean County District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer said Friday.

The district attorney said the investigation into the fatal crash in Duke Center is continuing, and “the cause of the crash will not be ruled on until the investigation by the Pennsylvania state police accident reconstructionist is complete.”

The crash occurred on Main Street in Duke Center on Sept. 8, when a car driven by Daniel Oaks of Bradford left the roadway, killing passenger Alyssa Hawk, 29, of Bradford, and injuring three bystanders.According to social media, Oaks remains in a coma.

Preliminary findings have indicated that a car driven by Oaks in which Hawk was a passenger was traveling on Main Street in Duke Center at approximately 9:32 p.m., when the car left the roadway as it headed out of town. The car struck a full-size pickup truck parked in front of a residence.

The force of the impact caused the truck to strike the porch and a parked side-by-side all-terrain vehicle, which then collided with a second side-by-side that was occupied, which was also parked near the residence. The car came to rest in the yard, Shaffer said.
